Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chops cook for 6-8 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a serving plate. Turn the heat to low and whisk in the butter to enrich the sauce.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning of the sauce with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Spoon the oregano wine sauce over the pork chops. Garnish with fresh oregano leaves, if desired. Serve immediately.
