Chef's Note

For the juiciest pork chops, remove them from the refrigerator 20-30 minutes before cooking to bring them closer to room temperature. Also, be sure to let them rest for the full 5 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)

  • 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 3 garlic cloves

  • 1 pounds carrots

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

  • 2

    In a shallow bowl, mix 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons dried parsley, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

  • 3

    Pat 2 pounds of pork chops dry with paper towels and brush both sides with 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.

  • 4

    Dredge each pork chop in the herb-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere, and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  • 5

    Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the pork chops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  • 6

    While the pork chops are cooking, peel and cut 2 pounds of russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon salt.

  • 7

    Bring potatoes to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

  • 8

    While potatoes are cooking, peel and slice 3 garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

  • 9

    Add 1/2 cup milk to the garlic butter mixture and warm gently. Do not boil.

  • 10

    Peel 1 pound of carrots and cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices. Place in a medium saucepan with 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.

  • 11

    Bring the carrot mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes until carrots are tender.

  • 12

    Uncover the carrots and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until the liquid reduces to a glaze, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of salt.

  • 13

    When potatoes are done, drain thoroughly and return to the hot pot. Add the warm garlic-milk mixture and 2 tablespoons butter.

  • 14

    Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  • 15

    Once the pork chops reach the proper temperature, remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

  • 16

    Serve each pork chop with a portion of garlic mashed potatoes and honey glazed carrots.
