Dinner Tonight: Breaded Pork Chops w/ Sour Cream Potatoes,Green Beans, and Whole Grain Bread
The Breaded Pork Chops and Sour Cream Potatoes came from a current issue of Taste of Home/ Simple and Delicious. I love the Taste of Home various magazines. Their always full of great ideas and recipes.
To make the Breaded Chops I'll need 1/4 cup Egg Beater's, 1/4 cup 2% milk, 1/2 cup crushed low fat saltine crackers, 2 boneless pork loin chops (1-inch thick and 4 ounces each), and 1 tablespoon canola oil. Then to prepare them is quite easy; in a shallow bowl, combine Egg Beater's and milk. Place cracker crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each pork chop in egg mixture, then coat with cracker crumbs, patting to make a thick coating. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving. The Chops came out moist and delicious and the saltines made a great crust for the Chops. I've left the original recipe, which makes 6 Chops, and the link to the Taste of Home web site at the end of the post.
Then for the Sour Cream Potatoes I'll need 10 medium red potatoes, peeled and quartered, 1 package (4 ounces) low fat cream cheese (cubed), 1/2 cup (8 ounces) reduced fat sour cream, 1/4 cup 2% milk, 2 tablespoons butter, Blue Bonnet Light Stick Butter (divided), 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes, 1-1/4 teaspoons garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.Then to prepare it In a shallow bowl, combine egg and milk. To cut back on calories and carbs I only used half the amount of sour cream and cream cheese that the original recipe calls for, and it came out fine. Place cracker crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each pork chop in egg mixture, then coat with cracker crumbs, patting to make a thick coating. In a large skillet, cook chops in oil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving. Another winning recipe from Taste of Home! The Mashed potatoes came out rich and creamy with just a hint of heat. I've left this recipe also at the end of the post.
I also heated up a single serving can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans and had Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
