Ingredients
– 4 pork chops (boneless preferred, bone-in acceptable)
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing
– 1 tablespoon butter for searing and sauce
– 1/2 medium onion, chopped (sweet variety preferred)
– 3/4 cup chicken broth (low sodium optional) for sauce base
– 1 (5.2 oz/150g) package of garlic and herb cheese, softened
– 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
1-First Step: Get Ready Take the 4 pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes before cooking to let them reach room temperature. This helps them cook evenly. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste, which adds flavor right from the start.
2-Second Step: Sear the Pork Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot and shimmering. Add the seasoned pork chops and sear for 3-5 minutes per side until they turn golden brown aim for 3 minutes if they’re thinner or up to 5 minutes for chops about 1-inch thick. This step locks in juices and creates a tasty crust, making your Boursin pork chops extra appealing.
3-Third Step: Remove and Sauté Once seared, transfer the pork chops to a plate and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the chopped 1/2 medium onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it’s softened and lightly browned. If the skillet seems dry, splash in a bit more olive oil to keep things moving smoothly, which helps build a flavorful base for the sauce.
4-Fourth Step: Make the Sauce Pour in 3/4 cup chicken broth and add the softened 1 (5.2 oz/150g) package of garlic and herb cheese to the skillet. Stir everything together until you get a smooth sauce, then let it bubble for 4-5 minutes to thicken slightly. For a fresh twist, stir in 1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley at this point, adapting the recipe by using low-sodium broth if you’re watching salt intake.
5-Fifth Step: Finish Cooking Return the pork chops and any juices from the plate back to the skillet. Let them cook in the sauce for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little extra chicken broth to loosen it up, ensuring your Boursin pork chops stay moist and full of flavor for various dietary needs.
6-Final Step: Serve It Up Adjust the seasoning with a bit more salt and pepper if needed, then take the skillet off the heat. Serve your Boursin pork chops immediately for the best taste, pairing them with simple sides like vegetables or rice. For adaptations, this method works well in the oven too try our tips in the FAQs for variations like baking at 375°F to meet different preferences.
