A large skillet with pork chops in a creamy apricot sauce.

Creamy Apricot Pork Chops

Ingredients 

  • pounds Pork Chops Thin cut, about 6 pork chops
  • 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil Or olive oil
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken Soup Reduced sodium
  • cup Sour Cream Low fat
  • ¼ cup Green Onions Chopped
  • 2 cans Apricot Halves 15-ounce cans
  • 6 cups Whole Wheat Pasta Or wide egg noodles

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Large, Heavy-Bottomed Skillet with Lid
  • Large Pot

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook pasta according to the package instructions.
  • Drain both cans of apricots, reserving ½ cup of the juice. Set both the apricots and reserved liquid aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops in the oil, about 2 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and pour off any fat remaining in the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the cream of chicken soup, sour cream, reserved apricot liquid, and green onions to the pan, stirring until a smooth sauce is formed. Return the pork chops to the pan, nestling them in the sauce. Bring everything to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cover, stirring occasionally and simmering until the pork chops are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • 5 minutes before the pork chops are done, add the apricot halves into the sauce.
  • Serve the pork chops over whole wheat pasta or the egg noodles, with sauce spooned over top.
