When I think of easy ways to make pork, I often turn to easy instant pot recipes, a slow cooker recipe, or my air fryer. But this Boursin Pork Chops recipe is now my go-to!

Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut pork chops
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt , or coarse kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 shallots , minced
• 5.2 ounces garlic and herb gournay cheese (boursin) , or other soft cheese
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch , optional

Directions

1. Trim pork chops of excess of fat and blot with a paper towel to dry.
2. Season both sides with seasoned salt (or coarse kosher salt) and ground pepper.
3. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the pork chops. Brown on both sides for 3-4 minutes per pork chop.
4. Remove the pork chops to a plate, set aside.
5. Reduce to low heat. There should be some remaining pork fat in the pan, if not, add 1 teaspoon of neutral oil. Add the shallot, sauteing for 1-2 minutes.
6. Add the gournay cheese and chicken broth, stirring until the cheese has melted into the broth.
7. Add the pork chops back to the pan sauce, turning to coat. Continue to simmer until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F. The cook time will depend on how thick your pork chops are, but will range from 3 minutes to 8 minutes.
8. If you want a thicker sauce, whisk cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water or broth and then stir into the pan sauce.
9. Serve hot over rice, couscous, pasta or mashed potatoes.
