Ingredients
- 4 succulent center-cut pork chops
- A packet of ranch dressing mix (1 ounce) like the one from Hidden Valley Ranch®
- A dollop of butter, as desired
- A drizzle of olive oil, as desired
- A splash of chicken broth, or more if preferred
- 3 spoons of sweet Marsala wine
- 3 splashes of zesty lemon juice
Step 1
Enhance the flavor of pork chops by generously sprinkling them with ranch dressing mix.
Step 2
In a skillet, combine a mixture of butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until sizzling. Gently lay the pork chops in the skillet and let them sizzle until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes on each side.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking the chops, giving them a flip now and then, until they are just slightly pink in the middle, usually about 8 to 10 minutes. To ensure they are perfectly cooked, use a handy instant-read thermometer which should show a temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when inserted into the center.
Step 4
Once the chops are done, carefully place them on a warm platter, leaving just a hint of fat in the pan.
Step 5
Now, pour a delightful mixture of broth, wine, and a splash of lemon juice into the pan, letting it bubble and blend with all those delicious browned bits at the bottom. Let the sauce simmer until it reaches your preferred thickness, then generously spoon it over the chops before serving. Enjoy!
