Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Step 2

Season the pork chops with black pepper and a half teaspoon of salt; set aside.

Step 3

Gently smash the garlic cloves with the side of a chef's knife and mix with the riced cauliflower.

Step 4

Spread the cauliflower mix onto a sheet pan and place the pork chops on top.

Step 5

Bake the pork chops and cauliflower mix for 10 minutes.

Step 6

While the pork chops bake, cook the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a skillet with about a half cup of water. Add a quarter teaspoon of salt, cover with a lid and cook on high for about 3 minutes until the asparagus are tender and all water has evaporated; keep warm.

Step 7

Once the pork chops are cooked through, remove the sheet pan from oven. Remove the pork from the sheet pan; set aside and keep warm.

Step 8

Combine the cooked cauliflower garlic mix with the chicken stock and cream cheese in a blender and puree into a smooth sauce.

Step 9

Divide the asparagus onto four plates, place two pork chops per portion on top and top with an equal amount of garlic sauce (about 4 to 6 tablespoons per serving).
