Yields: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Special Equipment: Frying pan
Ingredients
4 boneless pork chops
4 slices bacon
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ onion, diced
4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 ½ cups chicken broth
Seasonings of choice salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.
Directions
Season the Pork Chops: Season both sides of the pork chops with your preferred seasonings. Set aside.
Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
Sear the Pork Chops: Place the seasoned pork chops into the skillet and sear until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F). Remove and set aside.
Sauté Onion and Garlic: Lower heat. Add diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook gently until fragrant (do not burn).
Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Make the Creamy Sauce: Whisk in the cream cheese until melted and fully combined, forming a smooth gravy.
Adjust Seasoning & Thickness: Taste and adjust seasonings. If the gravy is too thick, add more broth. If too thin, let it simmer until reduced to desired consistency.
Combine & Serve: Return pork chops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and simmer for a few minutes to heat through. Crumble the bacon on top before serving.
