Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 2 servings.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth; 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, divided; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 2 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each); 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 2 teaspoons olive oil

A garlic and thyme marinade and a crisp bread-crumb coating enhance these juicy chops. "They're great for an everyday dinner or even when you want to have a special meal for two," says Allyson Harms of Edmond, Oklahoma.

Ingredients

1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each)
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

In a resealable plastic bag, combine the wine or broth, 1 tablespoon thyme and garlic; add pork. Seal bag and shake to coat; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Turn and refrigerate 30 minutes longer.
Drain and discard marinade. In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, pepper and remaining thyme. Coat pork chops on both sides with crumb mixture. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook pork in oil for 8 minutes on each side or until golden brown and a thermometer reads 160°.

I copied this recipe into my recipe file years ago. Just tried it for the first time last night. We really liked it & I will definitely make this again.

One of my favorite ways to make chops. I also use boneless or thin cut and just reduce the cooking times. Always a winner.
