Pork Piccata with Lemons and Capers
Try this budget-friendly Pork Piccata recipe, a delicious alternative to chicken. Perfectly seasoned pork in a tangy lemon sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Thin Cut pork chops or use a thicker cut and pound thin with a meat mallet.
- ¼ cup lemon Juice
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth I like to use reduced sodium or even the no salt added version
- 6 thin half-moon lemon slices
- 4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter divided
- 2 tbsp capers optional, I skip it because my kids don’t like it
- 2 tbsp Fresh Chopped Parsley
- All-Purpose Flour for coating the pork
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Coat 2 tbsp of butter with flour and set aside
- Pat the pork dry with some paper towels
- Season it with garlic powder and salt.
- Coat pork in flour, shaking off excess, and set aside.
- When oil is hot, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add pork and cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes until done. (You will probably need to do this in batches.)
- Remove pork and add onion to the skillet. Pour wine into the pan and cook for 2 minutes until the wine reduces by half. Add chicken stock, 2 tbsp butter, salt. Cook until liquids reduce by half, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Return pork to the pan, add capers (if using), 2 tbsp dredged butter, and lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens. Add parsley.
Notes
Notes: This recipe takes a while when making a larger quantity. To speed things up, you can use two skillets instead of one large skillet and split the recipe between them. Enjoy your delicious and budget-friendly Pork Piccata!
