A one-pan pork chop recipes with lots of flavor.  Fresh spinach, cream, and cream cheese make the best sauce!
​Ingredients

• 4 pork chops about 1/2 inch thick
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 16 ounces spinach chopped into bite size pieces
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 1/3 cup heavy cream

Preparation​

• Pat pork chops dry and season on both sides with salt and pepper.  Cook the pork chops in the olive oil, over medium heat, in a large skillet, about 4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.  Remove them to a plate.
• Sautee the spinach in the same pan.  It will seem very full at first but will quickly cook down.  Once it is wilted, remove it to another plate and allow to drain on a paper towel.  Press with another paper towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
• In the same pan, add the butter and cook the garlic on medium low heat until softened, about 1-2 minutes.   Return the cooked spinach to the pan.  Add the cream cheese, and heavy cream.  Stir until the cream cheese melts and forms a sauce.  Check for seasoning and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
• Return the pork chops to the pan.  You can either spoon the sauce top or serve the pork chop on a bed of it.  Serve immediately.
