Time on my hands.
So now that two out of my three kids are in school I find myself with a little more time on my hands. Time to actually make myself a good lunch. Maybe not necessarily healthy but good. I had boneless, center cut, thick pork chops from my shopping trip the other day and needed to use them up. Hubby wouldn't be home for another day so I only needed to make enough for myself, but I ended up cooking all three chops. I figured it was less dishes if I cooked them all now and just reheated them later. Aren't I the smart one? Don't answer that!
Here's the cast of characters.
3 bonless porkchops cut thick, lemon pepper seasoning, salt, oil, white wine, capers, chicken broth and butter. Oops, I forgot to add the chicken broth to this picture. I'll get it later.
I rubbed the three chops with olive oil and sprinkled both sides with salt and lemon pepper seasoning. Then placed them in a pan set to medium heat with 2 Tbls olive oil. I seared them on both sides for about 4 min per side.
Here is the liquid ingredients again. This time with the chicken broth added.
I flipped them to the other side then to get them cooked all the way through I poured in 1/8 cup white wine, 2 Tbls butter, 1 Tbls capers and 1/4 cup chicken broth, put the lid on and reduced the heat to medium low.
I turned the chops once and about 5-8 min later (depending on thickness) they are done and the liquid has reduced to a nice thick sauce. I served it with parmesan noodles and fresh sliced tomatoes.
Come here you little saucy thing! Excuse me folks. I gotta go find me a fork!
