Preparation

Step 1

1. To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the broth, oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, herbs, 1/4 tsp of the salt, and the cayenne in a small bowl; set aside.

2. Sprinkle the pork chops with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper. Spray a large nonstick skillet with olive oil nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until an instant-read therometer inserted into the side of a chop registers 160 degreesF for medium, about 4 minutes each side. (I prefer 3 minutes each side) Transfer to a platter. Rewhisk the vinaigrette and spoon over the chops.

Per serving: 1 chop and about 1 Tbsp vinaigrette.
