Instrucciones

For the Pork Chops

Prep. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

Cook the pork chops. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, add them to skillet, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side or until golden brown and the edges are crispy. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the pork chops.

Rest. Remove the pork chops from the skillet; set aside and keep them covered.

Cook the bacon. Add bacon pieces to the skillet and cook until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside. Keep bacon fat in the skillet.

For the Mustard Sauce

Sauté the herbs. Melt the butter in the same skillet and stir in the garlic, thyme, and rosemary; cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Add broth. Deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue to cook for 4 minutes, or until reduced by half.

Add cream and mustard. Stir in the cream and Dijon mustard; season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Then, lower the heat and cook for about a minute or until the sauce starts to thicken.

Stir in spinach and cheese. Add in parmesan cheese and baby spinach; cook for 1 minute.

Put it all together. Return pork chops to the skillet and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from heat. Garnish with cooked bacon pieces and fresh chopped parsley; serve.
