Pork Chops are one of less popular meats for dinner, but when cooked properly it can make a delicious meal. Seasoning and sauces can easily transform a simple boring dinner into a quick and delicious dinner. It is easy to overcook pork chops and for them to dry out. By searing them you lock in the juices preventing it from drying out during cooking. That is unless you forget about it and overcook it by mistake like I have, Opps. Another great thing about Pork Chops is they cook fairly quickly. Thicker cuts take longer, so I will cut it in half lengthwise and create to smaller/thinner pork chops.

How to make Saucy Pork Chops with Proscuitto:

Start by searing Pork Chops coated in my Sage Pork Rub for 3 minutes on each side. Once seared, set aside when done and start your sauce. Add Shallots and Prosciutto with a little more oil to your pan and sauté for about 3 minutes. Next, add minced Garlic and sauté for another minute. Add Beef Broth, Mushroom Powder (optional, see notes in recipe) Sea Salt, and Black Pepper. Increase heat to medium allowing to come to a simmer all while stirring and scrapping the delicious bits off the bottom of your pan. Make your slurry using Cold Water and Tapioca (can use Arrowroot or Flour). Add the Slurry to the Sauce, stirring till combined. Reduce heat to medium low, add in the Pork Chops and any juices on the plate. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until Pork Chops are 145˚F .

I prefer to serve this over my Dairy Free Masked Potatoes, but you can serve it with the starch of your choice. This dish also freezes well and can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. I made a few batches pre-baby and it was perfect to be able to pull out for a delicious and easy dinner once the baby arrived.
