Prep Time: 5 minutes / Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2 / Serving Size: 5 ounces pork, 1 1/2 cups lentil mixture
2 (6-ounce) boneless, center-loin pork chop (about 3/4â1 inch thick)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups canned low-sodium, no-sugar-added diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup canned lentils, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (1/2 teaspoon dried)
1/2 cup whiskey
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1. Remove visible fat from pork chops. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops, onion, and garlic. Brown the pork on both sides, 1 minute per side. Sprinkle with pepper.
2. Add broth, tomatoes, lentils, and rosemary. Stir well. Bring to a simmer, lower heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid, and simmer 5 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into pork should read 145°F for the pork. Divide lentil mixture between 2 dinner plates. Remove the pork to cutting board.
3. Add whiskey to the remaining juices in the skillet. Raise the heat to high and reduce by half. Add the mustard and blend in to make a smooth sauce.
4. Slice the pork and place on top of the lentils. Spoon the sauce over the sliced pork. Sprinkle parsley on top. Serve on 2 dinner plates.
