Pork Piccata

Healthy Fact of the Day

Pork loin is a lean cut of meat that's rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. By using a moderate amount of butter and olive oil, and incorporating broth and lemon juice into the sauce, this pork piccata recipe offers a healthier twist on the classic dish without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops, pounded to
  • 1/4-inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp capers, drained
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

 

Instructions

  1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

  5. In the same skillet, add the white wine, chicken broth, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

  7. Stir in the capers and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, cooking until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  8. Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them, allowing them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.

  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the pork piccata hot, accompanied by your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or pasta.

Savor the bright, zesty flavors of this pork piccata, and let the tangy lemon and briny capers transport your taste buds to the sun-drenched shores of Italy, one delicious bite at a time!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Panda Express Just Added a New Strawberry Dragonfruit Refresher — And It’s Already Going Viral

Fruit-based refreshers at fast-casual chains tend to be lighter than sodas or lemonades — but they still contain added sugars from syrups and flavor concentrates, so they’re best treated as an occasional swap rather than a daily hydration choice. The strawberry-dragonfruit combination does offer some natural antioxidant compounds from the fruit flavoring, though the nutritional benefit is modest compared to eating whole fruit. If you’re ordering the Hot Orange Chicken alongside it, the refresher’s natural sweetness does genuinely complement the heat in a way that makes the overall meal more enjoyable — which can help you eat more slowly and mindfully.

But the same principle applies to sauces, dressings, and even smoothies where a handful of spinach or frozen zucchini adds nutrients without changing the flavor in any meaningful way. If eating more vegetables is the goal, the blender is one of the lowest-friction ways to get there.
