Piccata Pork Chops
Why I Love This Recipe
Don't skip the capers even if you won't eat them. They add plenty of flavor!
Ingredients You'll Need
2 eggs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
4 boneless pork chops (about 5 ounces each)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, chopped
1/2 cup white wine
3/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and mustard. Place bread crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper. Dip chops in the egg mixture, then coat both sides with bread crumbs.
In a nonstick large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chops 3 minutes per side and remove. Add shallot and sauté 1 minute. Add wine; cook 1 minute. Stir in the broth, capers and lemon juice. Add the chops back into the skillet and simmer, covered, 3 to 4 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork registers 155 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.
