Posted on by Tori Mascaro

When you’re looking for a simple and delicious meal, don’t look too far when it comes to this dish. I didn’t have any fresh thyme to sprinkle on top of the sauce covered pork chops, but it was tasty regardless 😛

Ingredients

  • 2 pork chops (15 oz. each)
  • salt and pepper
  • 2-4 tbsp. olive oil
  • broccolini bunch
  • 1 baking sheet
  • aluminum foil

Sauce

  • 2 small shallots finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. spoon butter
  • 1/2 Knorr chicken bouillon
  • 4 oz. boiling water
  • 4 tbsp. spoons Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tsp. dijon mustard
  • fresh thyme finely chopped to sprinkle

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  2. Line baking sheet with a sheet of aluminum foil
  3. Wash broccolini with cold water, and trim the edges
  4. Place trimmed broccolini on baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with olive oil (set aside)
  5. Wash pork chops under cold water, and dry thoroughly
  6. Season the pork chop on both sides with salt and pepper
  7. Preheat pan over medium heat with 2 tbsp. of olive oil (add as needed)
  8. Cook 5 minutes on each side (10 minutes total)
  9. Remove seared pork chops from pan and place on baking sheet with the broccolini and into the oven
  10. Set the timer for 15 minutes (cook until pork is at 145 degrees)
  11. When pork is ready, remove from baking sheet and dice into thick piece on a cutting board.

(While pork is baking, prepare the sauce using the recipe below.)

Sauce Directions:

  1. Dissolve 1/2 Knorr chicken bouillon in 4 oz. of boiling water (mix, and set aside.
  2. Over high medium heat melt 1 tbsp. butter, add finally chopped shallots and sauté for about 1-2 minute (mixing the entire time to prevent from burning).

  4. Add 4 tbsp. of Greek Yogurt and 2 tsp. dijon mustard mixing the entire time.
