Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Center Cut Boneless Pork Chops
- Salt to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 0.5 medium Onion, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/3 cup Chicken Broth
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 0.5 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- Additional Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
- Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy whipping cream and chicken broth. Stir in the cream cheese and allow it to melt, creating a silky sauce. Add the parmesan and cheddar cheese, mixing until melted and smooth.
- Season the Sauce: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to your taste.
- Combine: Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them thoroughly in the creamy sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve: Once the sauce thickens slightly, remove from heat and enjoy!
Notes
For a lighter alternative, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Fresh herbs like parsley can substitute for Italian seasoning. Customize with add-ins such as spinach or mushrooms.
