Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

Four 1/2 inch thick boneless pork chops (trimmed of fat)
Wondra flour (for dredging chops)
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 cup seedless red or green grapes, halved
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. One at a time, dredge the chops in the flour, coating them well on both sides, shaking off the excess. In a large skillet over medium high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the chops to the pan and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining oil to the skillet, turn the chops and cook for 1 minute on the second side. Transfer them to a plate and cover loosely with foil. Add the onion and grapes to skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Increase heat to high, add the wine and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring, until wine is reduced to 1 tablespoon. Add the stock and sugar and simmer until the broth is reduced by half. Reduce the heat to medium-low, return the pork to the skillet, along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate and simmer very gently, turning the pork several times, for 1 minute. Transfer each pork chop to a serving plate. Add the mustard to the sauce, whisking., then season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce evenly over each portion and serve right away.
