Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Dry vermouth
• 1 cup Chicken stock
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, then add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4

Pour in the dry vermouth and chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the liquid simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and capers. Return the pork chops to the skillet, along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the pork chops simmer in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish just before serving.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned generously over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
