Ingredients
- 4 pork chops see note
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 3/4 cup chicken broth (use low sodium if sensitive to salt)
- 1 (5.2 oz/150g) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese softened
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Pat them dry and season them with the garlic powder and some salt & pepper.
- Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes, and once it's hot, cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops up to 1" thick). Once the pork chops are done searing, transfer them to a plate.
- To the skillet, add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes or until softened and lightly browned. If the pan seems dry, add a small splash more olive oil.
- Add the chicken broth and the Boursin to the skillet. Stir until you've got a smooth sauce. Let it bubble for 4-5 minutes, then stir in the chopped parsley.
- Add the pork chops (and any plate juices) back in and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened up a bit more and the pork chops are cooked through (145F minimum). Add in another splash of chicken broth if the sauce gets too thick.
- Season with salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately.

Notes
- I used boneless pork chops. You can use bone-in, but you may need to cook them in batches as they're typically larger.
- Pork is safe to eat at 145F (pink pork is ok!). It can go from undercooked to overcooked in a hurry, so I recommend using a digital instant read thermometer to test doneness.
