Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 shallot finely chopped (1 tbsp)

Makes 4 Servings

  1. To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the broth, olive, oil, shallot, garlic, lemon zest and juice, herbs, 1/4 tsp of salt and the cayenne in a small bowl; set aside.


  2. Sprinkle the pork chops with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper. Spray alarge nonstick skillet with oilive oil nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a chop registers 160 F for medium, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter. Re-whisk the vinaigrette and spoon ove the chops.

    WW Points Value: 4
Note: This recipe appears in the WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. I highly recommend serving small red potatoes and beans with this dish because you'll feel so satisfied. You can also mix some of the vinaigrette with the potatoes and vegetables; it's just as delicious on the sides as it is on the pork chops.
