Prosciutto-Wrapped Pork Chops image

Prosciutto -- air-dried Italian ham -- has a sweet, salty taste and a pleasant aroma. Because it is so flavorful, a little goes a long way. Try serving these pork chops with Lemony Lima Beans with Parmesan.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless pork loin chops (5 to 6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces total)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Sprinkle thyme leaves over each, pressing, to help them adhere to the meat. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice around middle of each chop, like a belt; press ends to seal.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chops until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Cook in two batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding.) Serve chops with lemon wedges, if desired.
