A nice Sunday dinner for two....

Last night I tried a new recipe for Chad and I from the Weight Watchers 15 minute cookbook. It was a fun dish to make and it only took 13 minutes to prep and cook together! The best part is... It's only 5 points and absolutely delicious!


Lemon-Herb Skillet Pork Chops Recipe
Lemon-Herb Skillet Pork Chops
4 (4oz) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (1/2 inch thick)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp.  dried thyme
3/4 tsp.  paprika
1/4 tsp.  dried rubbed sage
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 lemon wedges

1. Sprinkle both sides of pork evenly with salt and pepper. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour mixture.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 4 minutes on each side or until pork is done. Serve with lemon wedges.
Yield: 4 servings - 1 pork chop and lemon wedge each.
*Blogger's note: I had to cook the pork chops an extra minute on each side to reach the correct temperature. So make it 5 minutes per side.


On the Side:
I served this dish with golden Yukon potatoes that I steamed in the bag via microwave. I mashed the potatoes with a little garlic salt. Then I used the "I Can't believe it's not butter" olive oil spray and sprayed each serving with 2 sprays each. I topped off the potatoes with parsley for presentation.
We also had a Cesar salad to accompany this wonderful meal!
