Ingredients

Pork:
• 4 boneless pork chops (about 2 lb), cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Sauce:
• ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Season the pork pieces evenly with onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a large 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the pork and sear on all sides for 3–5 minutes each, about 13–15 minutes total, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F. Remove the pork and keep it warm under foil.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, then whisk in the flour until slightly thickened. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, and seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for 5–8 minutes until thickened. Return the pork bites to the pan and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
