Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread pork chops generously on both sides with prepared mustard.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the pork chops, then dredge in flour.
- Brown the pork chops on both sides in hot oil.
- Pour off the oil, then add cream of chicken soup and water to the skillet.
- Cover and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the pork is tender.
- Serve deliciously over rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, try using Dijon mustard instead of prepared mustard. If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend. To enhance the dish, consider adding sautéed onions or garlic to the skillet before adding the cream of chicken soup. This will add depth to the sauce, making it even more delectable.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops over a bed of rice to soak up the creamy sauce, or pair with steamed vegetables like broccoli for a balanced meal. This dish goes well with a side of salad for freshness. For a comforting twist, consider serving it alongside Buck'S Broccoli Casserole or a simple green bean dish.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pork chops can be stored 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 water or broth to keep them moist, covering the skillet to retain steam. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short intervals until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken instead of pork chops?
Yes, you can substitute chicken breasts for the pork chops in this recipe. Just adjust the cooking time to ensure the chicken is fully cooked, typically around 30-40 minutes depending on thickness. The cream of chicken soup will complement the chicken beautifully.
What can I use instead of cream of chicken soup?
If you don't have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute it with homemade or store-bought cream of mushroom soup or even a white sauce made from butter, flour, and milk. This will give a different but equally creamy flavor to the dish.
How do I know when the pork chops are done?
Pork is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. The pork chops should also be tender and easy to cut with a fork when they are done cooking.
