How to Make This Recipe

This Boursin pork chop recipe is great to make for busy weeknights, family meals, or even intimate dinners because it will definitely be a hit. Here are the easy instructions for making this hearty dish:

Season and Prep Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry, then season all sides with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. I would then recommend you cut a few small slits in the sides of the pork chops to keep them from curling up as they cook.
Sear: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-5 minutes on each side until they are golden on the outside.
Sauté the Shallot: Once the pork chops are seared, remove them from the pan and set them on a plate. Add the shallot to the pan, then sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Make the Sauce: Add in the garlic and sauté another minute. Add in the chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, Boursin cheese, parsley, and thyme.
Add the Pork Chops to the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium-low and continually stir until you have a creamy sauce. Add the pork chops back to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes until they are cooked through, coating each pork chop in the sauce.
Serve: Enjoy fresh with additional salt and pepper, parsley and thyme, and your favorite side!

Tips for Making Boursin Pork Chops

These creamy pork chops are both tender and flavorful. To consistently achieve perfect results, consider these essential tips

Remove from Fridge: I recommend removing your pork chops from the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking. If the meat is too cold before you cook, the outside will cook too quickly before the inside reaches the right temperature, which for pork is 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use Dried Herbs: You can use dried herbs in place of fresh ones, I like a 1:1 substitution.
Sauce Consistency: If you feel your sauce is too thick, then I suggest adding additional chicken broth until you get the perfect consistency.
Homemade Boursin Cheese: Want to make your own Boursin Cheese for this recipe? Then give our irresistible homemade Boursin Cheese a try!
Side Options: These chops are so versatile that they pair well with anything. They’re delicious on top of rice, potatoes, pasta, or even cauliflower rice. If you like more veggies, then you could try making it with mushrooms, green beans, spinach, or roasted carrots.
Don’t Wipe Out Pan: Leave the drippings and brown pieces in the pan after cooking the meat because it adds great flavor to the sauce. In fact, I suggest scraping them off the bottom with your spatula to be sure they mix into the sauce.

Storing Leftovers

One of the reasons that I love making these saucy pork chops is that they make great leftovers!

In the Refrigerator: Allow the pork to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Cooked pork chops with Boursin sauce will keep well for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Reheat: To warm up stored leftovers, place them on a skillet medium-low until warm throughout.
