Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (divided)
4 (4 ounce) boneless pork chops (1/2 inch thick, trimmed)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium shallot, minced
1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup sour cream (low fat okay)

Steps:

  • Combine pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat the mixture onto both sides of each pork chop.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge each chop in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops, reduce heat to medium and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shallot to the pan and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute.
  • Add brandy and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve the pork chops with the sauce.
