Ultimate Braised Pork Chops image

These are absolutely the tastiest, tenderest, moistest pork chops you will ever eat, attested to by everyone that has ever had them. I don't recommend using pork chops thicker than 1 inch.

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pork loin chops, less than 1-inch thick
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup Pinot Grigio wine
2 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Pour flour, beaten eggs, and panko into separate bowls. Dredge seasoned pork chops in flour, eggs, and panko, in that order.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter and oil together in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat. Add pork chops to the skillet as soon as the butter stops foaming. Sear until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, adjusting heat to prevent burning. Transfer pork chops to a plate.
  • Stir thyme into the skillet. Add white wine and deglaze by scraping the bottom of the skillet. Cook until wine is reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Return pork chops to the skillet and cover.
  • Bake pork chops in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour when butter has stopped foaming and stir until it reaches the color and consistency of peanut butter, about 5 minutes. Set roux aside.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and place on the stovetop. Transfer pork chops to a plate using tongs. Bring contents of the skillet to a simmer over medium heat and add roux 1 tablespoon at at time until sauce thickens to desired consistency, 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and return pork chops to the skillet. Serve immediately.
