In these COVID19 days, I don't like to go shopping too often & so try to do w/ what I have. I had pork chops, and then raided the pantry for other ingredients & literally just threw this together! Since I always keep adobo, Sazon and other spices from Goya on hand & had the cream cheese w/ chives..voila, a new recipe was born. Though hubby & I don't eat pork often, ( it tends to be tough,) I wasn't sure how it would come out, but the creamy chive, onions & the pork w/ the sesonings was so tender & the sweet potatoes just complimented the whole dish so well, no sides were needed.
