Pork Chops
Pork Chops: Choose boneless pork chops that are about 1-inch thick. Garlic Powder: Adds savory flavor to the pork chops. Italian Seasoning: You can use store-bought or try my homemade dried Italian seasoning blend. Kosher Salt & Black Pepper: Basic seasonings add your first layer of flavor.
Incredibly Tasty Creamy Herb Sauce
Olive Oil and Butter: To sear the meat and add richness to the sauce. Shallot: Sautéed for a mild onion taste. Garlic: For savory garlic flavor. Chicken Broth: Provides the sauce with extra flavor and makes for the perfect consistency. Heavy Cream: The smooth and creamy base of the sauce. Parmesan Cheese: If possible, use freshly grated cheese from a block to give the sauce the best flavor and velvety consistency.

How to Make This Recipe
This Boursin pork chop recipe is great to make for busy weeknights, family meals, or even intimate dinners because it will definitely be a hit. Here are the easy instructions for making this hearty dish:
Remove from Fridge: I recommend removing your pork chops from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking. If the meat is too cold before you cook, the outside will cook too quickly before the inside reaches the right temperature, which for pork is 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Use Dried Herbs: You can use dried herbs in place of fresh ones, I like a 1:1 substitution. Sauce Consistency: If you feel your sauce is too thick, then I suggest adding additional chicken broth until you get the perfect consistency. Homemade Boursin Cheese: Want to make your own Boursin Cheese for this recipe? Then give our irresistible homemade Boursin Cheese a try! Side Options: These chops are so versatile that they pair well with anything. They’re delicious on top of rice, potatoes, pasta, or even cauliflower rice. If you like more veggies, then you could try making it with mushrooms, green beans, spinach, or roasted carrots. Don’t Wipe Out Pan: Leave the drippings and brown pieces in the pan after cooking the meat because it adds great flavor to the sauce. In fact, I suggest scraping them off the bottom with your spatula to be sure they mix into the sauce.
In the Refrigerator: Allow the pork to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Cooked pork chops with Boursin sauce will keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat: To warm up stored leftovers, place them on a skillet medium-low until warm throughout.
