Instructions

Remove any excess fat from chops.
Sprinkle both sides of chops generously with salt, pepper and dried Italian seasoning.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray and add a small amount of the trimmed fat from the pork chops. You want enough to render about a tablespoon of fat.
When the fat has rendered, add the pork chops to the pan.
Brown well on both sides.
Add the chicken broth and bring up to a boil.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low.
Simmer until chops are done throughout. Approximately 20-25 minutes.
Remove the pork chops from the pan. Increase the heat to bring the liquid to a boil. Continue cooking until reduced to a thin sauce. Spoon the pan sauce over the chops and serve.

Notes

Pork is done at an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove it from the pan when the temperature on a meat thermometer reads 135 and it should continue to rise to at least 145 while it rests.
Any leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over very low heat.
