Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle both sides of pork slices with pepper and salt. Heat the oil in a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat; add pork and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until browned. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine broth and flour until smooth; add to skillet along with remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in the center and mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.

LC SERVING SUGGESTION: Steamed green beans and Faux-Tay-Toes (steam cauliflower till tender; drain; mash with butter, cream cheese and salt and pepper to taste till you get a mashed potatoes texture).
SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve mashed russet potatoes instead of Faux-Tay-Toes.
KOSHER: Use boneless skinless chicken breast meat instead of pork.
GLUTEN FREE: Make sure chicken broth is gluten free. Use almond flour or another gluten free thickener.
