Pork Medallions With Dijon-Mushroom Sauce image

This sounds like a fancy kinda meal, but it's so quick and simple it works as a weeknight meal, too. I use boneless pork chops instead of the pork tenderloin and serve with a big crusty loaf of French bread to get alllll that sauce! Recipe is from Pillsbury.
