Ingredients

1 Tbsp vegetable oil ($0.04)

4 pork center-cut loin chops (boneless, $4.00*)

¼ tsp salt ($0.01)

¼ tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.04)

½ cup mushrooms (cleaned and quartered (about 4oz.) $0.94**)

1 small yellow onion (small dice (a little over a cup, 115g) $0.78)

2 garlic cloves (minced (1 Tbsp) $0.12)

¼ cup chicken broth ($0.02***)

¼ cup heavy cream ($0.42)

2 oz cream cheese ($0.44)

2 cups fresh spinach (packed (5 oz) $0.96)

Instructions

1 Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

2 Once the pan is hot, gently place the pork in the pan. Let the pork cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. Remove the cooked pork from the pan and set aside on a plate while you make the sauce.

3 Turn the heat to medium and add mushrooms and onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms start to brown.

4 Add the garlic to the pan and continue cooking for 1 minute.

5 Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth and let it reduce by half, 2-3 minutes.

6 Next, add heavy cream and cream cheese and simmer for about 2-4 minutes. Cook until your sauce has thickened and cream cheese has melted.

7 Lastly, add in the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

8 Return the pork and any juices back into the sauce to warm through.
