1 lb. tomatillos, cleaned, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup (about 3 oz.) pumpkin seeds, shells removed, toasted
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, divided

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed

Steps:

Blend 1/4 cup dressing, water, tomatillos, pumpkin seeds and 1/4 cup cilantro in blender until smooth; set aside.
Heat 2 Tbsp. of the remaining dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chops; cook 5 to 7 min. or until browned on both sides, turning after 4 min. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm. Add remaining dressing and onions to skillet; cook 2 to 3 min. or until onions are tender. Return chops to skillet; cover with tomatillo mixture. Bring to boil; cover. Cook on medium-low heat 10 to 12 min. or until chops are done (145ºF). Remove chops from skillet, reserving sauce in skillet; cover chops to keep warm.
Stir cream cheese into sauce; cook, uncovered, 3 min. or until cream cheese is melted and sauce is well blended, stirring frequently. Spoon over chops; sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
