I began perfecting these juicy chops when I moved to another state and missed my step-dad's best pork recipe. His dish inspired my version with wine sauce.
Ingredients
4 bone-in pork loin chops (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chardonnay or chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
Directions
Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl. Dip pork chops in bread crumbs to coat both sides; shake off excess. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook chops 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and thermometer reads 145°. Remove from pan and keep warm.
In same pan, add green onions and garlic; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until tender. Add chardonnay, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook 1-2 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in lemon juice and rosemary. Serve pork chops with sauce.
