A delightful pork chop recipe featuring a rich maple-mustard sage glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and half of the fresh sage.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes after seasoning to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops to achieve a good sear.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Cover the pork chops with foil to keep them warm while preparing the glaze.
Add the chicken broth, maple syrup, mustard, and remaining sage to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits.
Scraping the browned bits adds depth of flavor to the glaze.
Simmer the glaze until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the glaze from sticking to the skillet.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and coat them with the glaze. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Turn the pork chops in the glaze to ensure they are evenly coated.
Serve the pork chops with the glaze drizzled over the top.
Garnish with additional fresh sage leaves for a beautiful presentation.
