Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 fresh lemon quartered and sliced
  • 2 large cloves garlic or 2 teaspoons store bought chopped
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided 1/2 and 1/2
  • 6 thin cut boneless pork chops
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese hold a little back for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh leaves
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • First let's cut up the lemon(s) and chop up the garlic, or, use the pre-cut garlic in a jar. Put a Skillet on at medium high and add the olive oil and the butter. In a shallow bowl mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture and put them in the skillet leaving a little space between them. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Give them just about a minute to a minute and a half per side depending on the thickness. These are pretty thin so I just went with a minute. When they are done remove them to a dish that will catch the drippings and set it on and idle burner on the stove to keep warm. Put the rest of the butter in the pan and then add the garlic, lemon and parsley.
  • Stir it up with a wooden spoon scraping the bottom to get any bits from the pork chops into the mix. After just about a minute put the white wine or - chicken stock - in the skillet and as soon as it starts to heat up to a simmer put the pork chops back in. You can put them all in just move them around letting the liquid get in between them. When the liquid has reduced and thickened a little serve your Pork Scallopini in Lemon Butter Sauce. Top off the meat and the pasta with the sauce and lemons from the pan plus some grated parmesan cheese. Bon Appetito!!
