Pork Chops with Creamy Swiss Sauce
Quick and creamy sauce over delicious broiled pork chops make a fast dinner. Serves 6
Ingredients:
6 lean boneless 3/4-inch thick pork chops
3 tablespoons pork chop seasoning*
1 can (10.75 oz) cond. cream chicken soup
1 soup can filled with 1% milk
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, more or less to taste
6 cups cooked pasta or mashed potatoes
Fresh parsley, optional garnish
Method:
Set oven to broil. Place oven rack 6-7 inches below broiling unit. For easy cleanup, line baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with non-stick spray.
Follow spice package directions for seasoning pork chops, or dampen meat with water and rub approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons seasoning over surface of each chop (always season to taste). Place chops on baking sheet and broil 5-6 minutes per side (note: broiling times may vary depending upon temperature of broiling unit, pork chop thickness, and distance from broiling unit). Broil chops until internal temperature is 160° F.
While chops are cooking: combine soup, milk, cheeses and garlic powder in a microwave safe dish. Stir to mix. Microwave sauce until cheeses are melted and sauce is creamy (stir sauce every 30-45 seconds). Season to taste.
To serve, place chops on a bed of cooked noodles, spoon sauce over top. Serve chops with a colorful vegetable. Garnish with snipped fresh parsley.
Notes:
* Use your own favorite mix of spices or use a commercial rub such as Spade L Ranch. Seasoning increases the flavor of the final product and will vary based on mix of spices used. If desired, replace seasoning with salt and pepper. Seasoning has not been included in the nutrition calculations.
