Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless pork chops
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 whole Lemon (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Capers (rinsed)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the salt and black pepper.
Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the cooked pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and unsalted butter to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the dry white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over them, and let them heat through for 2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
