Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 (4 ounce) boneless center-cut pork chops
-
½ teaspoon dried thyme, divided
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
¼ cup dry white wine
-
¾ cup unsalted chicken broth
-
1 ½ tablespoons drained capers
-
1 tablespoon water
-
2 teaspoons cornstarch
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with 1/4 teaspoon thyme, salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer in the skillet; cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate (the pork will not be fully cooked). Do not wipe out the pan.

-
Reduce heat to medium. Add wine; cook until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, capers and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon thyme; bring to a boil. Return the pork chops to the pan; cook, undisturbed, until the sauce has reduced slightly and a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 145°F, 3 to 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl.
-
Transfer the pork chops to a clean plate. Drizzle the cornstarch mixture into the pan sauce, whisking constantly. Cook, whisking, until thickened, about 20 seconds. Add butter; cook, whisking constantly, until the butter is melted into the sauce, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Serve the sauce over the pork chops.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
