Step 1

Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. 

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add pork chops and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, until browned and just barely cooked through (don't overcook or they will be tough). 

Step 3

Transfer pork to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Add chicken broth to the skillet and scrape up any remaining browned bits from the pork. 

Step 5

Add cream or half & half, dijon mustard, and lemon juice. 

Step 6

Stir well, reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered for 5-6 minutes or until sauce has slightly thickened. 

Step 7

Spoon sauce over pork. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
