Maple Mustard Pork Chops

From Cooking Light. These were definitely a big hit. I served them with bakes sweet potatoes and steamed green beans.

4 pork chops (I used boneless)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
Cooking spray
1 tbs butter
2 tbs chopped shallots (I used ½ small yellow onion)
¼ c low sodium chicken broth
2 tbs Dijon mustard
2 tbs maple syrup
2 tbs flat leaf parsley

1. Salt and pepper one side of the pork
2. Heat large skillet over medium-high, coat w/ cooking spray, add pork (s/p side down) to pan. Salt and pepper the other side of the pork. Cook until medium (about 4 mins per side). Remove from pan and tent to keep warm
3. Return pan to medium-high heat and add butter and shallots. Cook until soft and translucent (about 3 mins). Add chicken broth and boil for 1 min. Stir in mustard, syrup and remaining salt (I added some pepper too). Cook for ~1 min until sauce begins to thicken a bit.
4. Add chops back to sauce to warm through completely. Garnish with parsley.
