herbed pork with Sauteed mushrooms

this is a yummy recipe and tastes great with some mashed potatoes and green beans with almonds

Pork with Sauteed Mushrooms-

1 tsp vegetable oil 
cooking spray
8 oz pkg mushrooms sliced- you can purchase sliced or slice them yourselves
1 1/2 tsp Montreal steak seasoning
1 tsp dried thyme
4 4oz boneless center cut pork chops about 3/4 inch thick
1 cup 98% fat free chicken broth 2 tsp cornstarch

1.  Heat oil in a large non stick skillet on about medium to medium high heat and add your sliced mushrooms saute about 3-5 min or until tender pour into a bowl and set aside when done

2.  rub pork with the seasoning mixture-  I usually combine the seasoning in a small dish before rubbing onto the meat  then cook the pork on each side until cooked through I usually have my stove on the high end of medium heat  as the pork is cooking combine the chicken broth and cornstarch  Once the pork is done remove from pan and turn up heat a bit and dump in your chicken broth mixture and mushrooms  stirring with a whisk and being sure to scrap up bits stuck to the bottom of the pan bring to a boil and cook one minute until slightly thick

this will yield 4 servings

1 pork chop with 1/3 cup of the Sauce is 181 calories not too shabby for a main dish and one that taste like it came straight from a nice restaurant!

Green beans with almonds-
this is an easy side dish that is a great combination with the main dish

take a bag of frozen french style green beans and cook as directed on the pkg

as the green beans are cooking take one table spoon of butter and about 2-3 T of lemon juice and cook in a small frying pan add a small pkg of almond slice and cook until toasted once you have drained your cooked green beans dump in your almond mixture and toss
