For my smoky chops, I add tarragon for a hint of herbs. If you like a lot of sauce, double or triple the ingredients. —Julie Danler, Bel Aire, Kansas

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 6 ounces each)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons chipotle or other hot pepper sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Sprinkle chops with garlic powder and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Brown chops on both sides; remove from pan.
  2. In same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and green onions; cook and stir 3 minutes. Place chops over mushroom mixture. Bake, uncovered, 8-10 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°.
