Hi all!
I’ve been visiting this site now for ages and can’t ever recall making a post. I often use recipes from here and am always grateful to the work people put in to help other’s out. I felt I should return the favor. I just made this for dinner and it is really yummy (or at least in my opinion…haha).
I served it with some steamed broccoli and a salad since that’s all I had in the house for sides. I was thinking it might be good with some fried cabbage or even the faux mashed potatoes. Hope you might try it and if you do I hope you like it!
Creamy Dijon Pork Chops
(Prep Time 30 minutes, Cook time 30 minutes)
Ingredients:
8 boneless pork loin chops
2 slices bacon – chopped
3 celery heart stalks - chopped
1/4 green pepper - chopped
1/4 C. onion - chopped 2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 1/2 C. boiling water
* 4 tsp. creamy Dijon mustard
* 1 tsp. yellow mustard
* 1 tsp. spicy brown mustard
1/2 tsp. rosemary (crushed)
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. rubbed sage
pinch of marjoram (that’s all I had left but it worked)
1 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. Olive oil
Heat butter and olive oil in large deep skillet over medium heat, brown pork chops. While chops are browning dissolve bouillon cubes in water, add mustards and all remaining spices, mix well. Remove chops from skillet and place aside. Add bacon, celery, peppers, and onion to pan and sauté until slightly softened. Remove vegetables and bacon from pan and place chops back in (with any juices that have run off). Add cooked veg/bacon mixture to sauce mix and stir. Pour that over chops in pan and cover with lid. Simmer for 30 minutes over low heat. Remove chops from pan and pour in cream. Bring to a boil and stir with whisk until sauce is reduced some. Pour sauce back over chops and Enjoy!
Fit Day Counts: 4 servings (2 chops and sauce) - 3.5 net carbs
* I used a couple different mustards to reduce the carb count since the Dijon I used had a slight count and the other’s had none. I guess you could use all Dijon but the count would obviously be different.
