Skillet Pork Chops In Pink Sauce Recipes

EASY PAN SEARED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pat chops dry with the paper towel and sprinkle them very generously with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
• Heat your skillet (I recommend cast iron one) to medium high and add the olive oil. When it's shimmering hot and not a moment before, add your chops.
• Sear on one side, without moving them at all, until they are nice and golden brown on the first side, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until browned.
• The easiest way to check if the pork chop is done is to use meat thermometer. When they reach an internal temperature of 135 F degrees they are done.
• Remove them from the skillet and let them rest on a plate for 10 minutes, during which time they will continue cooking with the residual heat and will eventually reach 145 F degrees.
• Do remember that cooking time can vary based on the thickness of the pork chops.

THE BEST EVER SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Sprinkle the pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper covering all sides then set aside for 30-minutes;
• While the pork chops are resting, in a small bowl, mix together the seasoning blend including flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sage, marjoram, black pepper, and salt;
• After 30-minutes, pat the pork chops off and then dredge in the seasoning blend until coated well on all sides;
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until hot and then place the pork chops into the ban with at least 1" between each chop;
• Cook the pork chops on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then turn;
• Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid then simmer for 5-6 minutes for thin chops and 8-10 minutes for thicker chops (cook to 145°F or until juices run clear)
• Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside (cover to hold heat);
• Now, add the chicken broth and vinegar to the skillet and use a wooden spoon to break up any fond (bits of food) on the bottom of the skillet;
• Stir in the honey then simmer until reduced by half;
• When reduced, add in the butter and stir until melted;
• Remove the skillet from the heat, add the pork chops back into the sauce, and spoon the gravy over them;
• Let the chops rest for another 1-2 minutes in the pan gravy before serving with sauce over the top and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

SKILLET PEPPER AND GARLIC PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine pork chops, Worcestershire, 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, and black pepper in a large, resealable plastic bag. Marinate chops in the mixture for about 30 minutes.
• Heat remaining oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Remove pork from the marinade and place into the skillet to brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat and let simmer, basting with marinade during cooking, until no longer pink in the centers, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
