Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Meat mallet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Tongs
  • Cooking spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ½ cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pork Chops: Lay out the pork chops and season them with salt and pepper.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  • Coat each pork chop with flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chops.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Make the Marsala Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté sliced mushrooms until they are tender.
  • Pour in Marsala wine, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
  • Add chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook the Pork Chops in Marsala Sauce: Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them with the Marsala sauce. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through.
  • Finish the Dish: Stir in butter until melted and the sauce has a glossy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Rest and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  • Serve: Plate the pork chops, spoon the Marsala sauce and mushrooms over them. Garnish with chopped parsley.
