Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops about 2 pounds, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tsp garlic minced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt to taste
1/4 tsp black pepper to taste
1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, optional for garnish

Instructions

Cut the boneless pork chops into 1-inch pieces, then season them with onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Cook the pork for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning until browned and cooked through to 145°F.
Remove the pork from the skillet, place it on a plate, and loosely cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Add butter to the same skillet, let it melt, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until slightly thickened, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream.
Add Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then simmer for 5 to 8 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the pork bites to the skillet and toss them in the creamy garlic sauce. Garnish with parsley, if using, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the juiciest pork bites, use a meat thermometer and cook the pork just until it reaches 145°F.
If the sauce gets too thick, add a small splash of chicken broth or cream and stir until smooth.
