Pork chops with a surprise
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Of course, you'll need to spend a little effort preparing this dish, but it's worth it, as this meal includes both the main course and the side dish! By the way, the first time I made this dish, I prepared so much filling that there was plenty left for the next day, and it went perfectly with meatballs. The cutlets themselves turn out incredibly delicious! The meat is very juicy, tender thanks to the sauce, and aromatic thanks to the filling. I highly recommend you try this dish. Serve hot.

Then remove the meat from the pan onto a plate, and add a piece of butter to the pan. Once melted, add the flour and stir vigorously. Then pour in the broth, mix well, and simmer until thickened. Finally, add the cream and stir. The sauce is ready.

Place the meat into the sauce, pour the sauce over the top so that it completely covers the meat. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over low heat for 10–12 minutes (or until the meat is fully cooked through, depending on the thickness of the meat).
