Happy Friday NEMs! Have you figured out what you want to make the family for dinner tonight? If not, here’s a quick and easy recipe if you like Pork Chops! This recipe from my best friend Jennifer who has a full time career and two boys ages 5 and 3 and is also a fellow NEM. She whipped this dinner up last night for me, her, and the three boys: Ryker, Kai, and my son Maddox in less than 15 minutes! The recipe does call for a few pats of butter…but it’s OK to splurge a little! 😉
Prep Time: 5-10 min Cook Time: 12 min
What you’ll need:
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1/2 – 3/4 inch thick)
- Olive oil
- 2-3 pats of butter
- Salt/Pepper
- Salad of your choice w/dressing
- Easy make Quinoa & Brown Rice (Costco)
- Broccoli (or veggie of choice for the kiddos)
Let’s Cook!
- Salt and Pepper both sides of each pork chop
- Steam your broccoli (or veggies)
- In a frying pan, add 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Add 2-3 pats of butter and mix in with olive oil- cook on HIGH
- Once the oil/butter are slightly sizzling, place the pork chops in the frying pan, cover and let cook for 3 minutes
- Turn the pork chops over and cook for another 3-4 minutes on MED heat (or until desired meat temp) If you are also giving this to the kiddos, you should cook the meat thoroughly
- Remove the pork chops
- For the remaining sauce, turn the heat back up to HIGH and let the sauce get to a “bubbly” texture then turn off stove
- Make the Quinoa & Brown rice mix according to the package
- Serve the Quinoa/Brown rice, with veggies, and pour some of the sauce on top of the pork chops for awesome flavor!
Let me know what you think! 🙂 The boys really loved this dish!
ENJOY!
