Assuming you like pork chops, I don’t know if there’s a better summer dinner. I know chicken is always popular, but after so many years of nonstop chicken recipes, I’m having fun cooking with different meats this summer. We’ve made lots of yummy steak dishes, and today, we have pork chops, which I’m shockingly becoming obsessed with. I really love this dish. A good butter-fried pork chop is the perfect pairing for a creamed corn sauce. It’s such a summer recipe! My mom inspired this recipe. She’s funny about her food. You wouldn’t expect her to enjoy pork chops, but she ate them growing up and always loves when I present a pork chop dinner. I mentioned this idea to her, and immediately, the dish moved to the top of my list of dishes to make for the week. I kind of knew the second I mentioned it to her that she’d love this one. But I was nervous to test this recipe. In the end, I was SO HAPPY with how it came together. I based the recipe on my creamed corn chicken, a family favorite. But honestly, we think the pork variation is even better!
These are the details
Step 1: get the prosciutto crispy Start with some butter and the prosciutto. Once the prosciutto is crispy, remove it from the pan. I like to add a bit of fat when crisping up prosciutto to help it cook evenly.
Step 2: season the pork chops Rub each pork chop with salt, pepper, and then flour. Now add the chops to the skillet with butter and pan-fry them. Use the butter in the pan to baste the chops and ensure they are mostly cooked throughout. Step 3: make the creamed corn Next, add one last pat of butter, the chopped onion, garlic, thyme, and chili flakes. Let the mixture become fragrant, then add in the corn and cook until it’s deeply golden. Add the cream and parmesan, then simmer to combine the sauce. Slide the pork into the skillet and let it cook for a few minutes to warm throughout.
Step 4: serve Serve the pork topped with creamed corn and prosciutto. I love to add fresh basil too. This is so delicious! I really could not love this skillet dinner more. It’s simple yet so full of flavors that almost everyone enjoys. Make a side salad and add some bread to mop up the extra sauce. You’ll have the perfect summer dinner made in under an hour. It’s one of those recipes that you’ll crave time and time again. Plus, the sauce kind of just melts in your mouth. YUM!
