Time 45m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 pork chops, about 1-inch thick and 6 to 7 ounces each, see notes
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon chili powder, see our homemade chili powder recipe
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon neutral oil like avocado oil or vegetable oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock, see our homemade chicken stock recipe
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

Steps:

  • Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and season on both sides with salt - we use just less than 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt per pork chop. Set the chops aside to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the spice rub. In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • After 30 minutes, use a paper towel to pat the pork chops dry, then rub both sides of the chops with the spice rub.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and looks shimmery, add the pork. Cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the pork so that the seared side is facing up. If there is a fattier side of the pork, use kitchen tongs to hold the chops, fat-side-down until it sizzles and browns slightly; about 30 seconds.
  • Reduce the heat to low, then cover the skillet with a lid. Cook 6 to 12 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F when inserted into the thickest part of the chop. Cook time depends on the thickness of the chops, so check for doneness at 5 minutes, then go from there, checking every 2 minutes after that. If you do not have a thermometer, you will know they are done, if, when cutting into the chops, the juices run clear.
  • Transfer pork chops to a plate, then cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the pork rests, make the pan sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the chicken stock, vinegar, and honey. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan so that any stuck bits of pork come up.
  • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Taste, then adjust the seasoning with additional salt, vinegar, or honey.
  • Slide the skillet off of the heat and when the sauce is no longer simmering, swirl in the butter.
  • Slide the pork chops back into the pan and spoon some of the sauce on top. Alternatively, slice the chops, then place them back into the pan. Scatter fresh parsley over the pork, and then serve.

MOM'S TENDER AND JUICY PORK CHOPS



Mom's Tender and Juicy Pork Chops image

Brining the pork chops really makes a difference in this recipe. Once fried, they're tender and flavorful with a thin layer of crust. After they're fried, the pork chops simmer in a simple gravy filled with fresh onions and garlic. This is an easy to throw together dinner that requires very little work and is big in flavor. The gravy does call for a little white wine (which you don't really taste). If you do not drink, replace the wine with a little extra chicken broth. Also, you'll note there is no salt when cooking the pork chops. The brine adds plenty of salt to the meat.

Number Of Ingredients 17

BASIC BRINE
3 cup(s) water
2 cup(s) ice cubes
1/4 cup(s) Kosher salt
1/4 cup(s) sugar
PORK CHOPS
6 - bone-in pork chops
1 - egg, beaten with a little water to make an egg wash
- Italian bread crumbs
- vegetable or canola oil
1/2 large onion, sliced thin
2 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup(s) chicken broth
1/2 cup(s) dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried parsely flakes
1/4 teaspoon(s) dried basil
1/4 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Place all brine ingredients in a plastic bowl that has a tight-fitting lid. Stir. Add pork chops. Cover and keep in the fridge for at least 4 hours. (I know this is an extra step but it really makes the pork chops super tender.)
  • Remove pork chops from brine and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Dip pork chops in egg wash.
  • Then Italian bread crumbs to coat.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet. Just enough to coat the bottom. Fry pork chops in the skillet for approximately 3 minutes per side. They should be a nice golden brown.
  • Then set them aside.
  • Remove oil from skillet leaving approximately one tablespoon. Add the onions to the skillet and saute on medium heat until translucent - about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute - stirring.
  • Add the chicken broth and white wine.
  • Add seasonings to the skillet. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Put the pork chops back into the skillet with the chicken broth mixture. I place them around the sides of the skillet overlapping slightly to form a circle.
  • Cover and cook over low heat for approximately 20 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles.
