Scale
- 4 (4-oz) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (1″ thick)
- generous sprinkling of Mrs. Dash original blend (I omitted the salt and added Mrs. Dash instead)
- Cooking spray (preferably olive oil-based)
- 1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup fat-free half-and-half
- 1/2 to 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard (we liked it more on the lighter mustard-y side)
- 2 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. butter replacement (such as “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of pork with Mrs. Dash salt-substitute.
- Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Add pork to the skillet, and cook for 5 minutes on EACH side or until lightly browned and done.
- Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate and place in warm oven.
- Add the chicken broth to the pan, scraping browned bits from the pan to loosen them.
- Stir in half-and-half, mustard, lemon juice and butter replacement. Taste and tweak to your taste preferences.
- Reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 10 minutes or until sauce is slightly thick.
- Remove pork chops from the oven and place on plates.
- Spoon sauce over pork and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
