• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• While pork chops are baking, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of wine and bring to a boil. Let wine reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Stir in remaining wine and chicken broth. Bring back to a boil and reduce by half.
• Pour in cream; bring back to a boil and cook until reduced and thickened. To test for thickness, remove a spoonful of sauce and run a finger through it. If a clear path is left, the sauce is ready. Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter and Dijon mustard. Stir in parsley.
