So why not make it GREAT!!

Just an easy way of organizing my favorite things to do.... from cooking, sewing, crafting and more. I am always in search of great recipes and when I happen to find one my family loves I post it here to make it easier for me to find it rather then wonder where on earth I found it.

Pork Chops Marsala (or chicken)


4 boneless pork loin chops, 1/2" thick (4 oz. each) trimmed of fat
3 tsp olive oil
1 pkg. (10 oz.) sliced cremini or white mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp. dried thyme or 1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup Marsala Wine (or cooking wine, but I prefer the wine because it has less salt.)

Evenly season the pork chops, on both sides with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 2 tsp oil on medium heat for 1 minute. Add chops and cook 6 minutes or until browned on the outside, turning over once. Transfer chops to a platter and keep warm.

In the same skillet, heat remaining oil for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, onion, and thyme; cook for 5 minutes or until mushrooms are browned and onions are softened. Add broth and wine to mushroom mixture; cook 2 minutes. Place chops back into the skillet and warm until you are ready to serve.

This is also great with chicken and goes wonderful with garlic mashed potatoes. It's one of my husbands favorite and mine too!!! My kids actually enjoy it a lot too. I got this recipe from a magazine that I ripped out and kept and now I am finally writing it down . It came with the nutritional information noted below.
