"Adapted from Gourmet - Quick Kitchen Recipes. This is a favorite in our house. I don't use near that much salt but listed as in recipe. I think the sauce would be good with chicken too."

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Salt and pepper chops and brown in hot oil turning over once, about 8 minutes.
Transfer to a shallow baking pan, reserving the skillet, and bake uncovered until cooked through (about 5 minutes).
Let stand covered loosely with foil about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour off fat from the skillet and cook the shallots in butter, over moderate heat, stirring until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add broth and any juices in the baking pan and boil, scraping up brown bits on bottom of the pan, about 2 minutes.
Add mustard and cream and return to boil.
Add lemon juice and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Add chops and warm.
Serve sauce over the pork chops.
