Pan Seared Pork Chops with Onion Gravy

Boneless center-cut pork chops with a low-fat, low-sodium onion gravy. Great for weeknights, weekends, or a special occasion! This recipe is adapted from Weight Watchers 50th Anniversary Cookbook.

It took me a few years but I finally got a new Weight Watchers cookbook. The only other one I ever had I lent to a friend, and then she moved out of state before I saw her again. Not really a big deal, I wasn’t mad, and I still had the IPhone app, but there’s something I love about having actual cookbooks, on paper, in front of me. I found this recipe recently while I already had a package of pork chops ready to defrost and use, and was trying to decide what to do. Something different than my usual Honey Herb Pork Chops.

These are so easy to make! Just sear the chops for a few minutes until browned, then let them rest while you prepare this simple yet delicious gravy. I can’t give you the exact nutritional information, since I changed the recipe from bone-in pork chops to center cut, along with a few other changes, but they would be under 300 calories a serving. My daughter requested peas as a side dish, but any green vegetable, or a salad would be great.
