  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup half & half cream, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Season 2 bone-in pork chops with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
