Pork With Creamy Tarragon Wine Sauce

• 1/2 lb pork chop (usually 4 small thin slices)
• salt
• pepper
• italian seasoning (I use kind in a grinder)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons butter
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
• 1/2 cup red wine (you can use sherry in a pinch.)
• 3 tablespoons chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese (I occasionally use reduced fat Boursin if I have it on hand.)
• 1 tablespoon dried tarragon (or 2 tbsp fresh)

1. Before starting, heat the oven up to 350 degrees and put the cream cheese out so it will soften a little.
2. Trim all fat off the pork chops. Pound thin to tenderize and sprinkle each side lightly with salt, pepper and italian seasoning.
3. Heat up a frying pan to medium high. Once warm, add olive oil and butter. Add garlic and sautee until lightly brown.
4. Place pork chops in center of pan and cook on one side until bottom is lightly brown and seared, about 2-3 minutes depending on thickness. Flip chops and cook for an additional minute or until cooked through fully. Be careful not to overcook.
5. Remove chops from pan. Add red wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
6. Add cream cheese to mixture and whisk in with a fork. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Put chops back into pan and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
8. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle with the tarragon, mixing thoroughly. Enjoy!
