Pork Chops with Dijon Herb Sauce

This recipe is oh so easy and twice as delicious.  I got it from Gina's Skinny Kitchen, which is a great blog for skinny recipes!  I've actually made it about three times already! But of course, they were pre-blog times.  I've served it with whipped potatoes (it has a pretty good gravy/sauce for that), spinach, broccoli, really any sides you want.  This time I served it up with the new all time favorite, sweet potato fries and some ole fashion corn on the cob!

 For the pork chops, I started by brinning them for about 4 hours. Then, I patted them VERY dry and seasoned with salt, pepper, and some fresh thyme.

 I also let the chops come down to room temp to get an even cook.  I seared them on both sides for about 3 minutes each (they are bone in and a little thicker than regular ones).  I cooked them in some oil and butter (color and flavor).







While they were cooking up I chopped up the onions, parsley, and thyme.

Then I threw the onions and herbs in and added about a cup of chicken stalk, a squeeze of Dijon mustard,  and some white wine to deglaze.  I let that cook down for about 10-20 minutes.... I read a little.... I stirred a a little... Then I added the chops back for about 3 minutes until I got all of the sides ready.

Then it was time to eat! Now tell me that doesn't sound like the easiest thing ever!! Now go get cooking!
