Chop the fat, keep the flavor. We used reduced-fat, reduced-sodium soup and added fresh mushrooms for a hearty meal that won’t weigh you down. One taste and you’ll be in hog heaven.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil > 1 teaspoon canola oil

6 boneless pork loin chops (4 oz each)
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (3 cups)
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed 98% fat-free cream of mushroom soup with 45% less sodium
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried sage or thyme leaves
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1  Trim any visible fat from pork chops. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork chops; cook about 4 minutes on each side or until slightly browned. Remove pork chops from skillet; set aside.
2  In same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

4  Stir in sour cream until well blended and smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, just until hot. Serve pork chops with mushroom mixture.
