Pan Seared Pork Chops in White Wine Sauce

javagirl81's Note:

I am not a big fan of pork. However, my husband and children love pork chops. I came up with this recipe after I got tired of frying them in oil. I like to serve this on a bed of buttered pasta, with a nice mixed salad on the side.Enjoy!

This was excellent! The only thing I changed was that I used chicken stock instead of water, and I used a full cup so we'd have a little more sauce. I served it with baked acorn squash with brown sugar, and roasted broccoli. My family loved it!

Good but mine were somewhat dry--probably my fault. I'll try again and apply stars then. :-)

These we're great. Used chicken stock instead of water and increased it to 1 cup so that I had sauce for mashed potatoes. Added a little time and oregano ton pork cutlets before cooking. My family loved this.
