Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 center-cut loin pork chops, 1 inch thick
4 to 8 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup dry white wine
2 fennel bulbs, trimmed, quartered, and cut into very thin slices
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chops dry and add to skillet. Cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until deep golden brown. Pour off fat.
  • Remove skillet from heat (leave pork chops in skillet) and add garlic. Cook 1 minute in the hot skillet.
  • Return skillet to heat and add 1 cup broth, the wine and fennel, and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer covered 5 minutes.
  • Remove chops to a pie plate or other ovenproof dish and cover lightly with foil (set skillet aside). Place chops in the oven and cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees when placed near the bone.
  • Meanwhile, simmer the sauce in the skillet 5 minutes or until reduced slightly.
  • In a small cup or bowl mix remaining 1/4 cup broth (it should be cold or room temperature) with the cornstarch. Add this mixture to the sauce and boil 1 minute, or until lightly thickened. Taste, adding salt and pepper, if desired. Serve chops "smothered" with sauce.

I thought the pork chops were a little bland. Maybe I should have added more garlic?

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed these pork chops. The garlic and other spices balanced out the flavor perfectly.
