This one, for example, is one of our new favorites! It throws together quickly and it has simple ingredients. The last time I made it, I new I'd be busy all day, so I floured the pork and mixed up my sauce and put it in the fridge first thing in the morning. Twenty minutes before we wanted to eat, I threw it on. So great! And it's a quick stove-top of skillet recipe, another awesome bonus in the summer time.
Recipe:
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 lbs boneless pork chops (thin ones, about 1/8" thick)
2 T butter
2 T oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, minced
1/2 c chicken broth
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1 T grated lemon zest
Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat the pork with the flour.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic lightly. Add the pork in batches until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork to a plate and keep warm with foil.
Add the broth, lemon juice and zest. Stir until the liquid thickens to make the sauce. (I usually have to add a bit more flour here)
Place pork on serving plate and pour sauce over the pork. Serve immediately.
***My kids ate this really well, but they thought it was a bit lemony. So the second time I made it, I kept the sauce on the side and used it as a dip, so you could add as much as you wanted.
***I like things saucy. So I doubled the sauce and then I had plenty to use with these potatoes that I served with it.
Hope you like it!
