Ingredients
- 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops (about 3 pounds total)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder

- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
Instructions
- Season the pork chops on both sides with the salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, add in the pork chops, searing on each side until browned. Set aside.
- Add in the onions and cook until softened. Then, add in the garlic and cook for a minute.
- Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Then, stir in the Dijon mustard and cornstarch slurry.
