Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil
4 bone in pork chops 1/2 inch thick
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter divided
2 lemons 1 juiced, 1 sliced
1/4 cup capers drained and rinsed
flat leaf parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prep the pork chops. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towel. Season each pork chop generously with salt & pepper on both sides. Add the flour to a flat bottomed bowl. Dredge the pork chops into the flour until coated on each side.
Sear the pork chops. Add the oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Heat the pan for a few minutes so it's very hot. Add the pork chops to the pan (might need to cook in batches) and cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove the pork from the pan and set aside.
Make the sauce. Add the garlic to the hot pan then add the wine or chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Stir to get all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and add the butter, lemon juice and capers. Stir until the butter is melted. Add the pork chops back to the pan.
Serve. Serve garnished with parsley and sliced lemons.

Notes

Be sure to use a dry white wine; otherwise, your sauce will be more sweet than savory.

For even more caper flavor, rough chop them before adding them to the sauce.
