Ingredients
- 4 pork loin chops bone-in
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- cooking spray
- ¾ cup chicken broth
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.
