Red Wine-Braised Pork Chops

My husband loves dishes with sauce and cheese, so I created this recipe for him. It's not exactly diet food, but it is great for company or just a special dinner. It goes well with roasted small red potatoes and asparagus.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ½ cup red wine
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed
• 2 slices Gruyere cheese
• 2 (1-inch thick) bone-in blade pork chops
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced Italian-style tomatoes
• 2 thin slices onion
• 2 tablespoons sour cream, or as desired

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Dust pork chops with flour and add to the hot skillet. Brown chops on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and add chopped onion to the same skillet. Cook until almost tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add wine and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, and capers.

Step 3

Return chops to the skillet, top with sliced onion, and spoon sauce on top. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until meat is tender when a knife is inserted in the center, 30 to 45 minutes.

Step 4

Serve each chop topped with a slice of Gruyere cheese and a dollop of sour cream, covering the plates until cheese melts.
