"There are 2 Martha Stewart recipes I love. This one and recipe #344125."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless pork loin chops (5 to 6 ounces each)
• coarse salt and pepper (go light on the salt)
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 4 slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• lemon wedge, for serving (optional)

directions

1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Sprinkle thyme leaves over each, pressing, to help them adhere to the meat. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice around middle of each chop, like a belt; press ends to seal.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chops until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side depending on thickness. This may have to be cooked in two batches to avoid crowding.
3. Serve chops with lemon wedges, if desired.
