Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1.5 cups Dry white wine
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium (diced) Onion
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season them with the salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir constantly to make a light roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is golden and cooked through.
Step 5
Slowly pour in the white wine, stirring constantly to deglaze the pan and incorporate the flour mixture. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the chicken broth and fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet, stirring to combine. Return the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.
Step 8
Remove the thyme sprigs from the sauce and discard. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 9
Serve the pork chops hot, spooned with the wine sauce on top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
