Pan Fried Pork Chop Recipe

Quick and easy Pan Fried Pork Chops seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and a little cayenne pepper, all drizzled with tangy and sweet pan juices. Mashed potatoes, white rice, or buttered egg noodles with chopped fresh dill are perfect side dishes.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 bone-in center-cut pork chops
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 sprigs rosemary
• 3 sprigs thyme

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Remove the chops from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to starting the recipe. Cover the chops with plastic wrap and pound a little bit with a meat mallet to tenderize them. Generously salt and pepper the pork chops on both sides.
2. 2Preheat oven to 225 degrees. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground cayenne pepper. Dredge the pork chops into the flour.
3. 3Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chops until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chops to an ovenproof plate and place them in the oven.
4. 4Add the white wine to the skillet to deglaze the pan. Reduce the wine by half while scraping the bottom of the pan to remove the brown bits.
5. 5Add the low-sodium chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, rosemary, and thyme sprigs. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, and then serve the pan juices drizzled over the chops.
