Spicy Italian Pork Cutlets

Last weekend, I went through the freezer and jotted down all of the food I had stored in anticipation of having a mass freezer clean-out. So far... so good....at least when we are home. We have been out and about quite a bit with different out of town needs, but we do cook when we are home for the most part. Today's recipe is taken from AllRecipes.com. I basically looked up pork cutlets and looked for the highest rated recipe in order to use our cutlet supply. Here it is:

Spicy Italian Pork Cutlets - 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 boneless pork chops, pounded to 1/4 inch thick
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, and quickly sear on both sides. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  2. Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, and saute the garlic about 30 seconds. Mix in the tomato, chicken broth, wine, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Return the pork chops to the skillet, and continue cooking 5 to 10 minutes, to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve pork with the tomato and broth mixture from the skillet.
