Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper. Cut tenderloin into 12 slices; pound each with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Dip pork in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.
