Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Using a paper towel, pat dry the pork chops; season generously with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning on each side.
  • In an oven proof skillet, over medium high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  • Place pork chops in the skillet; cook until bottom side is golden brown; about 4 minutes.
  • Turn and cook on other side about 3 more minutes; remove from the skillet.
  • To the now empty skillet, add second tablespoon of butter.
  • Once butter has melted, add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add brown sugar and wine; cook on medium heat until well combined.
  • At this point, add salt, pepper and more herbs (such as Italian seasoning).
  • Taste the sauce; adjust seasonings as required.
  • Return chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce on top of each chop.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the pork chops until cooked through; internal temperature of 140°F to 145°F on a meat thermometer; usually about 6 to 8 minutes depending on the thickness of the meat.
  • Remove from the oven and remove the pork chops from the skillet; let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked pork chops to a plate and pour any pan juices over the top.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and let the chops rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
