Substitutions

  • You can replace the olive oil with avocado oil.
  • We love the Boursin garlic and herb, but you can use another flavor such as shallot and chive or caramelized onion.
  • Chicken broth – we love homemade bone broth, but use store bought if you don’t have any prepared. You can also use vegetable broth if you choose.

Steps to making creamy pork chops

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the pork chops and cook both sides until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer your pork chops to a plate and set aside.
  2. Stir the Boursin cheese and chicken stock into the pan. Cook until the Boursin cheese has melted.
  3. Add the pork chops back into the pan and coat them with the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens and the pork chop reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  4. Serve & enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

  • Roasted vegetables – Broccoli, brussels, or carrots. 
  • Steamed vegetables – Broccoli, zucchini, or green beans
  • Salad – pasta salad or a fresh green salad with your dressing of choice.

Mashed potatoes are also an excellent choice and a favorite pairing for this dish. Love Boursin cheese? Be sure to try out our Boursin Mashed Potato recipe!

Creamy Pork Chops should be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. I do not recommend freezing, as the cheese will separate and leave a distasteful texture. 

To Reheat: reheat on the stovetop, place it in a skillet with two tablespoons of chicken broth and stir sauce, and flip the pork chops after a minute or two. Keep this process until thoroughly heated, or the meat reaches 145°F internally. 

FAQs about creamy pork chops

To keep your pork chops from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before putting them in the skillet. You don’t want to put them in simultaneously or before adding the heat; you want to give it a moment before adding them. 

If your sauce is too thick, you can add a little extra chicken broth to help thin it out.
