This recipe is very easy and it was my go to dish when I was learning flavors. Hope y’all enjoy the recipe!

Ingredients:

- [ ] 2 tbsp olive oil

- [ ] I pack of pork chops (usually a pack of 4 or 5)

- [ ] 2 tbsp salted butter

- [ ] Half an onion

- [ ] 1 tbsp minced garlic

- [ ] 2 cups chicken stock

- [ ] 1- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

- [ ] Seasonings (Salt, pepper, garlic powder)

- [ ] Grated Parmesan

- [ ] Half a bag of spinach (get fresh not frozen because it will alter the taste and texture)

- [ ] 1 block room temperature cream cheese (cubed)

Instructions:

- add oil to a pan and cook pork chops until almost fully cooked(not fully cooked because they will continue cooking in the sauce later)

- place pork chops on a plate with paper towels on it and set aside

- add butter to the same pan until melted; then add chopped onion until softened

- add garlic and give it a few stirs

- add chicken stock and heavy whipping cream until bubbly then add about half a cup of Parmesan and stir

- add cream cheese(chopped into cubes) and cook until melted

- add seasonings and gradually add spinach stirring in between to shrink the spinach down

- after all is combined, simmer for 5 minutes until thickened(if sauce is too thin, add more Parmesan until desired thickness)

- add pork chops back in and simmer for another 5 minutes

- serve over risotto or mashed potatoes and a vegetable of your choosing(broccoli in the picture)
