For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the flour mixture for a subtle kick. If you don't have shallots, you can substitute with finely chopped yellow onion. Serve this dish with a side of mashed potatoes, rice pilaf, or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace pork chops between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound the pork chops to an even 1/4-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and tenderizes the meat. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour. (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened and fragrant. Add pork chops in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and nearly cooked through. (15 minutes)
05
StepTransfer pork chops to a baking dish and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. (25 minutes)
06
StepWhile the pork chops are baking, return the skillet to medium heat. Pour in the white wine and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and continue to simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the fresh lemon juice. (10 minutes)
07
StepRemove pork chops from the oven. Drizzle the lemon-butter sauce over the pork chops. Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, and capers. Serve immediately. (5 minutes)
