Pork Chops with Dijon Maple Sauce Recipe

This one pot meal comes together in 15 minutes and is easy on the wallet. Healthy pork Chops are drizzled with an easy Dijon maple sauce.

Quick, cheap and family-friendly...that's my love language when it comes to weeknight meals. For no really good reason, pork chops were absent from our dinner table for years. But lately, I've started to build a repertoire that my family ask me to make regularly. Two of their favorites are Easy Braised Pork Chops with Tomatoes & Olives and Grilled Pineapple Chili Pork Chops, and just a few nights ago, this version with an easy Dijon mustard and maple syrup sauce shot straight to the top of the list.

And do you know how much the pork chops cost? Three dollars...three dollars, people! I felt as though I was practically stealing them.

This recipe can be made in 15 minutes, from start to finish. Season the pork chops and throw them in the pan. While they cook, a mere 2 to 3 minutes per side, whisk the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. In the same pan (yes, only one pan to wash!), sauté the garlic, pour in the sauce ingredients and simmer for a few minutes.

We served this up with roasted potatoes, but it would be fantastic over a bed of brown rice. The thought of the juices from the pork and the sauce soaking into the rice sounds too good for words. Get in your greens with some steamed broccoli or a kale salad on the side.
