Ingredients

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

1/2: cup fat-free sour cream

Directions

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.
3 Stir in soup, water, soy sauce, sage and pepper until well mixed. Heat to boiling. Return pork chops to skillet; spoon some of the sauce over pork. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes, stirring and turning pork chops occasionally, until pork is no longer pink in center.
4 Stir in sour cream until well blended and smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, just until hot. Serve pork chops with mushroom mixture.

This was DELICIOUS. I had to substitute cream of chicken and I didn't have mushrooms on hand, but the result was still just as good. I loved it and will make it again! Good comfort food.
