âMy daughter and I made this recipe to create a special meal. I saw all the fat that went into it, and at my age, I canât handle all those calories,â writes Betty from Sun City, Arizona. Our pros made a few changes to the recipe to improve its nutritional profile and found that Makeover Pork Chops with Gravy captures the home-style feel of the original recipe, but with less than half the fat. Ingredients:
1 egg |
1-1/4 cups 2% milk, divided |
1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs |
3 teaspoons minced fresh parsley, divided |
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme |
4 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each) |
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided |
3 tablespoons reduced-fat butter, divided |
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup half-and-half cream |
1/3 cup reduced-sodium beef broth |
Directions:
1. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and 1/2 cup milk. Combine the bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon parsley and thyme in another shallow bowl. Sprinkle pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dip chops in egg mixture, then crumb mixture.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork chops in 2 tablespoons butter for 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
3. Meanwhile, in the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Stir in flour and remaining salt and pepper until smooth; gradually stir in the cream, broth and remaining milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy with chops; sprinkle with remaining parsley. Yield: 4 servings.
