Chive and Onion Pork Tenderloin

Back in January I purchased a container of chive and onion cream cheese but never did anything with it.  This morning when I was going through the refrigerator, I spotted it and realized it expired today! So before heading for the grocery store I looked up a recipe then adapted it to what I thought might be good.  Luckily for me, the grocery store had buy 1 get 1 free on pork tenderloins!  

Hope you enjoy it!!

Ingredients: 

• Pork Tenderloin- Mine was peppercorn marinated
• 1 package of Shake and Bake mixture- I used the one for pork
• 3 cups of noodles-uncooked
• 1/2 onion diced 
• 2 cubes of garlic (cloves)
• 2 tsp of olive oil
• 1 cup of fresh mushrooms
• 1 tub of chive and onion cream cheese- I used Philadelphia
• 3/4 cup of reduced sodium chicken broth

Optional ingredients: Sliced hot pepper and adding flour to the sauce to thicken

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400'
• Put pork in a ziplock bag and add shake and bake and "Shake Shake" 
• Put on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes

The last 15 minutes of baking time 

• Cook noodles according to package, drain and drizzle with olive oil so they don't stick together
• Meanwhile, in a medium sized skillet heat oil on m-high heat
• Add onions, peppers and mushrooms and cook for about 5 min 
• Add cream cheese and chicken broth and stir to combine
• Cook for 5 minutes and add a little bit of flour to thicken the sauce
• Serve- first with noodles then pork and sauce overtop both.  

I served this dish with steamed asparagus, strawberries and blueberries and milk!  It was delicious- will definitely be making it again.
