Ingredients

1-1/2 lb. small red potatoes (about 8), quartered
6 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped
6 thin-cut bone-in pork chops (2 lb.), 1/2 inch thick
3/4 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives, divided
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Steps:

Cook potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 20 to 25 min. or until tender. Meanwhile, cook and stir bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. drippings from skillet.
Add chops to drippings in skillet; cook on medium-high heat 3 min. on each side or until done (145°F). Transfer chops to plate, reserving drippings in skillet; cover chops to keep warm.
Add broth to skillet; stir to scrape up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Add cream cheese; cook 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is thickened, stirring constantly with whisk. Stir in 1 Tbsp. chives.
Drain potatoes; return to pan. Mash to desired consistency. Stir in cheddar, bacon and remaining chives. Serve with meat and pan gravy.
