Ingredients

• 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 shallot, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1. Season the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced shallot and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the shallot is tender.
5. Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
6. Stir in the thyme leaves and chopped rosemary. Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the pork chops are heated through.

8. Pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve hot.
