Ingredients
- 1 cup canned less-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 8 slices and flattened to about 1-inch
- 1 tablespoon seasoned dry breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk broth, garlic, tomato paste, sage, salt and pepper. Coat pork with breadcrumbs.
- In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Remove to a plate.
