Ingredients
Instructions
- Rub each pork chop with prepared mustard.
- Roll chops in flour.
- In a deep skillet, fry the chops in melted butter until brown.
- Add chicken stock and chopped onions to the skillet.
- Simmer, covered, on low heat for 1 hour.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in the mustard for a few hours before cooking. If you don’t have thick sour cream, Greek yogurt can be a great substitute. Ensure the butter is hot enough to give the chops a good sear, which helps lock in juices. This technique is also used in other American recipes for meats.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops drizzled with the creamy sauce, alongside mashed potatoes or buttered noodles for a comforting meal. Steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can add a nice contrast. This dish also pairs beautifully with Pat'S Do Not Peek Chicken for a diverse menu.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the pork chops in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken stock to keep them moist. Cover with a lid to retain moisture, heating until warmed through.
