Ingredients
Pork
- 4 boneless pork chops (approximately 2 pounds), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Sauce
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season pork evenly with onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a large, 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add pork and sear for 3-5 minutes on all sides until cooked through (about 13-15 minutes total). Pork is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Remove the pork from the skillet and set it on a plate. Tent it to keep the pork warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in flour until slightly thickened.
- Add in chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Let the sauce simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until thickened.
- Add pork bites back to the pan and toss them in the sauce to coat. Serve immediately.
