Pork with Lemon-Caper Sauce

This is another recipe that combines different ingredients to create a good blend of flavors. The breading is really good, and the sauce even won over my husband. It was his first time with capers, too!

Pork with Lemon-Caper Sauce
1/3 cup flour
1/8 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. seasoned breadcrumbs
3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
4 (4-oz.) center-cut pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick
Cooking spray
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp. dry white wine
1/4 tsp. lemon rind
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. capers, rinsed and drained

Combine flour and salt in shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs, cheese and pepper in another shallow dish. Place egg white in a third shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour mixture, then egg mixture and finally breadcrumb mixture. Coat pork with non-stick spray.

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan. Cook 4 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from pan, and keep warm.

Add broth and remaining ingredients to pan. Scrape to loosen browned bits. Cook 2 minutes or until reduced by half. Serves 4.
