Tender pork chops seared and coated in a zesty lemon caper sauce for a quick and flavorful twist on a classic piccata dish.
Ingredients:
  • 4 pork chops
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons sliced shallots
  • 0.33333334326744 cup dry white wine
  • 0.25 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon capers
Instructions:
  • Heat your oven to a toasty 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Flatten pork chops between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap until they are a thin 1/8 inch.
  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Coat both sides of each pork chop with the flour mixture, tapping off any extra flour.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sizzle butter until hot. Add shallots and pork chops in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Sear pork chops until golden brown and nearly cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place pork chops in a baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and keep warm, leaving shallots and flavorful bits in the skillet.
  • Roast pork chops in the oven until tender, for 20-25 minutes, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
  • Combine wine and chicken stock in the skillet and bring to a lively boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the flavorful browned bits. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens by half, about 2 to 5 minutes. Finish by stirring in fresh lemon juice.
  • Generously pour the flavorful sauce over the succulent pork chops and sprinkle with fresh parsley, zesty lemon zest, and briny capers.
