03 Method

Step 1

In a glass dish, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, and cayenne. Dredge pork chops in the mixture, remove any excess.
Step 2

In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt. Brown pork chops well on both sides, about 4-6 minutes per side.
Step 3

Remove from pan and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Place in the oven to bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes (or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F).
Step 4

Using the same skillet, set over medium heat. Add the wine, and whisk, scraping up any browned bits. Allow reducing by half.
Step 5

Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and thyme, whisk to combine. Add the heavy cream and remaining butter. Bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until slightly thickened.
Step 6

Return the pork chops to the pan, allow to cook for 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over top. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with remaining sauce.
