I love pork chops

I really do.

Yesterday I spent the day at the mall with my BF and our kids and I came home not in the mood to cook (when am I ever in the mood to cook?) but knew that I had to cook something. I decided on Sauteed Boneless Pork Chops with Tomato-Sage Pan Sauce. Sounds fancy, right? It is so easy and so yummy. I originally saw the recipe in Cooking Light but changed it up a little to make it even easier. I'm not quite sure how my changes affect the fat and calories so as usual the original recipe is above. I served mine with buttered bow ties.

Sauteed Boneless Pork Chops with Tomato-Sage Pan Sauce

Ingredients
  • ground sage
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 - 5 boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
Preparation

Sprinkle both sides of pork with sage, salt and pepper.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with olive oil. Add pork; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from heat; set aside.

Add chicken broth and minced garlic to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Cook 1 1/2 minutes or until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Stir in diced tomato and another sprinkle of sage, salt & pepper and cook 4 minutes or until slightly thick. Return pork and accumulated juices to pan. Cover and cook 1 minute or until heated.

My verdict: YUM, YUM, YUM! This is definitely one of my favorite ways to make pork chops. I don't always have white wine in the house (we prefer drinking red) so I just add more chicken broth instead and I think it still tastes great.
