Marsala Pork Chops
Give your weeknight pork chops a makeover with the comforting flavors of Marsala sauce.
The combination of the garlic, mushrooms, capers, chicken broth and sherry marinate the pork chops to bring out their flavor while keeping them moist and tender.
These are the INGREDIENTS you will need:
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour divided
- 4 4-ounce boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
- Cooking spray
- 1/3 cup minced capers about 2
- 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
- 1 8-ounce package presliced mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup fat-free less-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup Marsala wine or dry sherry
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
These are the iNSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place 1/4 cup flour in a shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour. Coat pan with cooking spray.
- Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove pork from pan.
- Add capers, garlic, and mushrooms to pan and sauté 3 minutes or until moisture evaporates.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons flour and thyme to pan, and cook for 1 minute, stirring well.
- Combine chicken broth and Marsala, stirring until smooth. Gradually add broth mixture to pan, stirring constantly with a whisk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes or until sauce thickens.
- Return pork to pan; cook 2 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove and Serve.
Add mashed potatoes and fresh cooked seasonal vegetable for a well balanced and healthy meal everyone will enjoy.
If you have a garden full of fresh vegetables, now is the time to use them! Yellow squash or zucchini pairs quite well and gives another layer of textures to the cops.
I have had a marsala sauce that was similar to a gravy.
Even though that style was very good I like this thinner sauce better.
The flavor of the wine adds a hint sweetness to the pork chop that lets you know this recipe is not just for kids.
Even though the wine is used, the alcohol burns off as your dish is cooked.
For me, since I don’t drink wine, that is definitely a win win situation.
I have also used a bed rice to enhance the dish, placing the chops over it.
