Ingredients

  • 2 lbs thin cut pork chops or use a thicker cut and pound thin with a meat mallet.
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth I like to use reduced sodium or even the no salt added version
  • 6 thin half-moon lemon slices
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 2 tbsp capers optional, I skip it because my kids don’t like it
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
  • all-purpose flour for coating the pork

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Coat 2 tbsp of butter with flour and set aside
  3. Pat the pork dry with some paper towels
  4. Season it with garlic powder and salt.
  5. Coat pork in flour, shaking off excess, and set aside.
  6. When oil is hot, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add pork and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes until done. (You will probably need to do this in batches.)
  7. Remove pork and add onion to the skillet. Pour wine into the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the wine reduces by half. Add chicken stock, 2 tbsp butter, salt. Cook until liquids reduce by half, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  8. Return pork to the pan, add capers (if using), 2 tbsp dredged butter, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens. Add parsley.

Notes

  • Notes: This recipe takes a while when making a larger quantity. To speed things up, you can use two skillets instead of one large skillet and split the recipe between them. Enjoy your delicious and budget-friendly Pork Piccata!
