I found this recipe on a sample card from Great American Recipes a long long long long time ago...made it for Len & he LOVED it...I only make pork chops once in a VERY blue moon, but when I do, this is the recipe he wants hands down. I would imagine you could easily utilize the sauce & use with b/s chicken breasts too, though I have not tried it yet...hmmm...might have to do that soon!
4 pork chops (1/2-3/4" thick, about 1 1/2lbs of meat)
1 Tbs oil
1 clove garlic, minced
SAUCE:
2 tsp oil
4 Tbs dry sherry or broth
4 Tbs soy sauce
2 Tbs brown sugar
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
2 tsp cornstarch
2 Tbs water
Heat oil in skillet, brown chops on both sides. Remove and add a little more oil if needed. Saute garlic for a minute, being careful not to burn it.
Combine oil, sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper.
Place chops in skillet, pour sauce over them. Tightly cover.
Simmer over low heat until chops are tender & cooked through, 30-35 min. Add a little water, 1-2 Tbs if needed to keep sauce from cooking down too much. Turn ONCE.
Remove chops to platter, stir in cornstarch dissolved in water. Cook until thickened.
Pour over chops and serve.
***This is a fabulous dish to serve over buttered noodles (such as egg noodles, or fettuccini)...they also recommend sreving green salad with sliced cucumbers & dinner rolls...we're fans of peas, greenbeans, even Strawberry Spinach Salad (recipe in the blog somewhere but labeled under strawberries, spinach, salad).
***This is for 4 servings...but one serving is just one chop...most hubbies I know love more the one, so double or triple depending on what your own family eats in the amount of chops (or chicken!)
