Sear the Pork: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat until the foaming subsides. Brown half of the tenderloin pieces in the butter for 3 to 4 minutes per side, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Repeat with the remaining pork and another tablespoon of butter. Transfer the seared pork to a warm platter and set aside. (15-20 minutes)

Create the Sauce: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir in the flour until smooth, creating a roux. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to fry and turn slightly golden. (2 minutes)

Deglaze and Simmer: Gradually whisk in the white wine, stirring continuously until the flour mixture and wine are fully blended. Stir in the chicken bouillon granules and Dijon mustard. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. (3 minutes)

Finish and Serve: Whisk in the heavy cream. Bring the mixture almost to a boil, then stir in the toasted slivered almonds and sliced green onions. Pour the sauce generously over the seared pork on the platter and serve immediately. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use dry sherry instead of white wine.
If you don't have heavy cream, half-and-half can be substituted, but the sauce will be slightly thinner.
To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, or toast in a skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
Serve with steamed asparagus or green beans instead of broccoli for a change of pace.
Pork loin can be substituted for pork tenderloin. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
