WW Pork with Creamy Mustard Caper Sauce

Who says comfort food has to be high in points and calories? This Weight Watchers Pork with Creamy Mustard Caper Sauce is a total game-changer for your weeknight routine, coming in at just 1 WW point per serving. It's rich, velvety, and incredibly satisfying, but the secret is in the healthy swaps. By using Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream, I've created a lush, savory meal that keeps you perfectly on track without sacrificing an ounce of flavor.

I've been making a version of this pork loin recipe for years, but I've recently refined it to be even lighter and easier than ever before. It's officially joined the ranks of my most popular WW-friendly recipes! If you're looking for a healthy creamy yogurt sauce for pork, you'll love this one!

🥘 Ingredient Notes

For this Weight Watchers pork recipe, you'll need:

• Pork Loin/Chops: I recommend boneless pork loin because it's lean, high-protein, and keeps the points low. Make sure to trim any visible fat before cooking.
• All-Purpose Flour: This provides a light crust on the meat and helps the sauce thicken slightly as it simmers.
• Plain Non-fat Greek Yogurt: This is part of the secret to a rich, creamy sauce without the fat of heavy cream. Ensure it is 0% fat to keep the recipe at 1 point.
• Capers: These little flower buds provide a salty, briny "pop" of flavor that cuts through the creaminess of the yogurt and the tang of the mustard.
• Dijon Mustard: Dijon has a more complex, spicy profile than yellow mustard and acts as an emulsifier to help the sauce come together.
• Chicken Broth/Bouillon: I often use bouillon mixed with water to keep it economical. It adds a deep savory base to the caper sauce.
