In an effort to eat more healthily (is that a word)? I have been cooking more and more Cooking Light recipes, including this one which is so delicious you can't even believe it's under 250 calories a serving. I served it over brown rice, which upped the total calories to 400. But still, not bad for a filling, yummy meal!
Pork Medallions with Red Peppers and Artichokes
2 teaspoons olive oil
Cooking spray
8 (2-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (I just used the thinly sliced ones that come in 5-6 packs)
1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning or Poultry seasoning
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups red bell pepper strips
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried sage (opt.)
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add pork, and cook 1 minute on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from pan. Add bell pepper to pan; sauté 2 minutes.
Combine the broth, tomato paste, thyme, and sage, stirring with a whisk.
Return pork to pan, and add broth mixture and artichoke hearts. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove pork from pan, and keep warm. Increase heat to medium-high; cook 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Spoon the artichoke mixture over the pork.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 pork chops and 1 cup artichoke mixture)
