Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chops cook for 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a serving plate. Turn the heat to low and whisk in the butter to enrich the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning of the sauce with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Spoon the oregano wine sauce over the pork chops. Garnish with fresh oregano leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
