Boneless Pork Chops with Creamy Chive Pan Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
- 8 4 oz. boneless pork chops
- ½ c. chicken broth preferably organic
- 6 oz. cream cheese cut into small pieces
- 3 T. fresh chives finely chopped
Optional:
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Additional fresh chives finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Get Cooking! Start by heating the olive oil in a large, heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat. The sizzle of the oil will get you excited for what’s to come!
- Season and Sear. If you like a little extra flavor, season the pork chops with salt and pepper on each side. Add them to the preheated skillet and brown for about 3 minutes per side. Once they're golden and delicious, remove them from the pan and set them aside on a rimmed dish to collect those flavorful juices.
- Create the Sauce. Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth along with the cream cheese. As you stir, make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen those tasty brown bits. In about 4-5 minutes, you’ll have a creamy sauce that’s to die for!
- Combine and Cook. Don’t forget to add the juices from your resting pork chops back into the skillet! Stir everything together, and then return the pork chops to the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let those flavors meld.
- Serve It Up! Plate the pork chops, drizzle them with the creamy sauce, and garnish with extra chives if you’re feeling fancy. Serve immediately with your favorite sides—think mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, or a fresh salad!
This Boneless Pork Chops with Creamy Chive Pan Sauce is sure to become a weeknight favorite in your household. It’s a meal that not only satisfies but also brings joy to the dinner table.
