Easy Skillet Pork Chops with Garlic Herb Boursin Sauce
Pork Chops with Boursin Gravy are seared until golden, then simmered in a creamy garlic and herb sauce that’s rich without being heavy. A quick buttermilk soak keeps the chops tender, while Boursin melts into the pan for an easy, flavorful gravy. Serve it over rice or noodles for a 30-minute dinner that feels special but is quick weeknight meal.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup buttermilk (for marinade)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 shallot (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 5.2 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic & herb)
Instructions
- Add pork chops to a ziplock bag and pour buttermilk over them. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Rinse and pat dry. Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. When hot, add pork chops and brown on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- Add butter and shallots to the pan and cook until softened. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add chicken broth whisking until it starts to thicken, 2-3 minutes. Add Boursin cheese and whisk until melted.
- Add pork chops back to the pan and simmer until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 140º. For thick pork chops, this will take about 5 minutes, but check at 3 minutes as you don’t want to overcook them.
- If you want a thicker sauce, reduce the broth by half.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- If you have time, try to marinate the pork chops in buttermilk, it will make them more tender.
- Remove the pork chops when they reach 140º, they will continue to cook while they rest.
- You can use either bone-less or bone-in but boneless are easier to eat when serving over rice with gravy.
