# What You'll Need:
→ Pork Chops
01 -
4 bone-in center-cut pork chops, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick
→ Seasonings
02 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
03 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
05 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
→ Sauce
06 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
07 -
1/2 cup dry white wine (Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc)
08 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
09 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 -
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
11 -
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
12 -
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
13 -
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Allow to rest at room temperature for 35 to 45 minutes to enhance tenderness and flavor. If short on time, season immediately before cooking.
02 -
Lightly coat each side of the pork chops with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the pork chops until golden brown and crisp on both sides, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Use tongs to sear edges as well. Remove from skillet and set aside.
04 -
Pour white wine into the hot skillet, scraping the bottom to release browned bits. Reduce the wine by half over medium heat.
05 -
Add minced garlic, butter, and flour to the skillet, cooking and stirring continuously for 2 minutes to form a roux.
06 -
Gradually whisk in chicken broth in small increments, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, allowing it to thicken before reducing heat to a simmer. Simmer gently for 12 minutes to develop flavor.
07 -
Lower heat and gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated. Stir in lemon juice if using. Return pork chops to the skillet, spooning sauce over them, and warm through for up to 5 minutes before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For the best results, use bone-in center-cut pork chops for added flavor and juiciness. Allowing the meat to rest after seasoning improves tenderness.
02 -
Grate Parmesan cheese fresh from a block for superior melt and flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.
