Garlic Pork Bites

Ingredients

Pork

• 4 boneless (approximately 2 pounds) pork chops, cut into 1-inch pieces (bite-sized)

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Sauce

• ¼ cup (½ stick) butter

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Season pork evenly with onion powder, salt, and pepper.

2. In a large, 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add pork and sear for 3-5 minutes on all sides until cooked through (about 13-15 minutes total). Pork is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

3. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it on a plate. Tent it to keep the pork warm.

4. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in flour until slightly thickened.

5. Add in chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

6. Let the sauce simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until thickened.

7. Add pork bites back to the pan and toss them in the sauce to coat. Serve immediately.
