Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

2 pork tenderloins (1 pound each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons butter
2/3 cup half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Cut each tenderloin into 12 slices; sprinkle with salt. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown pork in butter in batches over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Return all pork to the skillet.
Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over pork. Cook and stir over low heat for 2-3 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Yield: 6 servings.

Everyone just ate it up! Really a lovely dinner. We served it with stuffing and sauteed asparagus.

Yum, we really enjoyed this recipe. I did modify a little. I replaced the half and half cream with fat free evaporated milk. I also cooked the pork in 2 teaspoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. I think that this would make a great dinner party dish.

I used chops as well. Adults enjoyed it, kids didn't. Recipe doesn't suggest to drain drippings from pan after cooking pork but that is definitely something I would do next time.

Delicious! This has become a favorite with both family and guests. Quick to fix but elegant, and so good. I use thick pork chops and cook them a little longer before adding the cream to finish.
