Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 oz. Seasoned Croutons
  • 12 oz. Green Beans
  • 1 Roma Tomato
  • 2 Boneless Pork Chops
  • 2 oz. Light Cream Cheese
  • 1 oz. Sour Cream
  • 1/2 tsp. Powdered Ranch Seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and cooking spray.

  2. Mince garlic. Coarsely crush croutons. Trim ends off green beans. Core tomato and cut into ¼" dice. Pat pork chops dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  3. Combine cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and half the garlic (reserve remaining for green beans and tomatoes) in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

  4. Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add pork chops to hot pan and sear until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to prepared baking sheet and spread crust evenly over each chop. Top crust with crushed croutons. Place in hot oven and bake until pork chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 8-12 minutes. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean. While pork chops bake, cook green beans and tomatoes.

  5. Return pan used to sear pork chops to medium heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Add green beans, ¼ tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan and stir occasionally until crisp-tender, 6-8 minutes. Add tomatoes, remaining garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir occasionally until garlic is aromatic, 30-60 seconds. Remove from burner.

  6. Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Bon appétit!
