how to make Boursin Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 (5.2 oz/150g) package Boursin Fine Herbs & Garlic cheese, softened

Directions:

1. Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Pat them dry and season them with the garlic powder and some salt and pepper.
2. Add the olive oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork chops for 3-5 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate.
3. Add the onions to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
4. Add the chicken broth and the Boursin cheese, stirring until smooth, and let simmer for 4-5 minutes.
5. Return the pork chops to the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes until cooked through, adding chicken broth if the sauce thickens too much. Season with salt and pepper if needed and serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.

how to serve Boursin Pork Chops

Serve Boursin Pork Chops hot from the skillet, drizzled with the creamy sauce. They pair beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad. A sprinkle of fresh parsley on top adds a nice touch of color and flavor.

how to store Boursin Pork Chops

To store leftovers, let the pork chops cool completely. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm them on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of chicken broth to keep the sauce creamy.

tips to make Boursin Pork Chops

• For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in garlic, herbs, and olive oil for a few hours before cooking.
• Make sure to not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pork chops. Cook them in batches if necessary to ensure they sear nicely.
• If you want an even richer sauce, you can add a splash of white wine when sautéing the onions.
