What I love about pork piccata

I’m always looking for new ways to use my favorite proteins, and pork chops are one of those. They have so much more flavor than chicken, but they’re still lean and easy to cook.

This pork piccata recipe is a great way to change things up and bring new life to those pork chops. Normally we serve them with our favorite buttered noodles – made with dairy free butter – but piccata is also really great with mashed potatoes.

How to make this dairy free pork piccata recipe

Prep the chops. Using a meat mallet (or the bottom of a small saucepan), pound the pork chops until they’re about 1/2-inch thick.

Season the pork chops with salt & pepper. Then, fill a shallow bowl with flour. Dip the pork chops into flour and coat them completely in flour.

Cook the pork. Heat a large cast iron skillet or frying pan to medium. Add olive oil to heat.

When the oil is hot, fry pork chops until golden brown. This should only take 2 minutes per side, since the chops are so thin. Remove from pan and set aside.

Make the sauce. Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice and add the butter. Allow it to melt. Then, add the garlic, capers and lemon zest. When the garlic is fragrant, pour in the wine and chicken broth.

Bring the dish together. Return the pork chops to the pan and drizzle them with the sauce. Garnish with parsley before serving.
