Cooking Light Pork Chops With Country Gravy

Submitted by Bren_in_L.R.

"From June 2006 Cooking Light magazine. This recipe makes enough gravy to smother pork chops, or you can spoon half over the chops and half over mashed potatoes served as a side dish. Substitute dried basil if you don't have marjoram."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried marjoram

• 1⁄4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
• 4 (4 ounce) boneless center cut pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon butter

directions

1. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Place flour, salt, dried marjoram, dried thyme and dried rubbed sage in a shallow dish.
2. Dredge pork in flour mixture, turning to coat; shake off excess. Reserve remaining flour mixture.
3. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Reduce heat, and cook for 10 minutes or until done, turning pork once. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.
4. Combine reserved flour mixture and milk in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended. Add milk mixture to pan; place over medium-high heat.
