Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops

  • Salt and pepper to taste Season generously for flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For searing the pork chops.
For the Sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Freshly minced for best flavor.
  • 5 ounces baby spinach Can substitute with kale or broccoli.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For creaminess.
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese Add more for richer flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the boneless pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cooking the Pork Chops
  1. Add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove the chops and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Toss in the baby spinach, stirring until wilted.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream, adding in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Final Assembly
  1. Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the creamy spinach sauce. Let them simmer for an additional minute.
  2. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for about 2 months. Reheat on low heat to regain creaminess.
