Description

Fresh mushrooms, onions, and lightly breaded pork chops are cooked in a light but flavorful sauce made with wine, brandy, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar.

Ingredients

6 (5 ounce) boneless pork chops, 1/2-inch thick
1 egg, beaten
1 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 fluid ounces brandy
1 tablespoon white sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
aluminum foil

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2 Dip pork chops in the egg and then in bread crumbs to coat.
3 Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to an oven-safe baking dish, leaving pan drippings in the skillet.
4 Add mushrooms, onion, red wine, white wine, butter, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, brandy, sugar, and garlic to the pan drippings. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Pour over pork chops and cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
5 Cook in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
