Ingredients
PORK
- 4 boneless pork chops, 1-inch thick each
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed and room temperature
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
CHERRY SAUCE
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 3 ounces red wine
- ½ cup cherry preserves
Instructions
- Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, cook pork chops in oil over medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 145°F. Remove chops from skillet and keep warm. (I place mine on a plate and cover with foil hood.)
- Add the cream cheese, broth, cheese, and balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Cook and stir with a whisk until blended. Return chops to the pan, right on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil. Add shallot and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add red wine and cherry preserves and cook 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.(It should be a thin syrup).
- Spoon some of the cream cheese mixture over the pork chops. (Optional, you can also serve it under the chops.) Top pork chops with cherry mixture.
- Serve.
