INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoons salt, divided
4 8 ounce bone-in pork chops, 1-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil , divided
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 12-ounce bottle hard cider
1/2 cup heavy cream
DIRECTIONS
- Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Spread the flour on a plate and dredge chicken to coat.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned, 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and reserve.
- Add the wine to the skillet, bring to a boil and reduce to about 1/4 cup, 2-3 minutes. Add the broth, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Bring mixture to a boil and cook 1 minute. Add the chicken, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, turning occasionally, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each breast registers, 160°F, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and swirl in the butter until melted. Add the feta cheese and oregano
