Accordingly, we adapted the recipe for a non-stick skillet and prepared the bulk of the dish in advance. These updates are noted in Notes 1 & 2. Flexibility is key to any recipe.
Quick, easy and delicious!
Ingredients:
• 6 boneless center cut pork chops, about ¾ inch thick, approximately 2.75 – 3 lbs total

• 2 cups of dry white wine
• 1/3 cup of sliced hot cherry peppers, stems removed

• ¼ cup of balsamic vinegar
Steps:
1. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides.
