Tender pork chops coated with seasoned flour and mustard, then browned to create a flavorful base for a comforting creamy chicken soup sauce. Perfect for a hearty family dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread pork chops with prepared mustard.
- Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a bag.
- Shake chops in the bag to coat with flour.
- Brown the coated pork chops in oil.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of prepared mustard. You can also substitute the flour with a gluten-free blend if needed. Make sure to coat the pork chops evenly for a nice crust when browning. If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the cream of chicken soup simmer for a few extra minutes after adding it to the pan.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops alongside buttery mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the creamy sauce. Steamed green beans or a fresh salad can provide a nice contrast and balance the richness of the dish. This recipe pairs beautifully with Ham And Cheese Scalloped Potatoes for a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or water to keep them moist, or microwave them covered with a damp paper towel for about 1-2 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, bone-in pork chops work well for this recipe. They may take a bit longer to cook compared to boneless chops, so be sure to check the internal temperature to ensure they reach 145°F for safe consumption.
