How to Make Country French Pork Chops

  1. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook until well browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side), ensuring they remain slightly pink in the center.
  3. Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside on a plate, covering to keep warm.
  4. Add chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
  5. Stir in brown sugar, red wine vinegar, prunes, and olives.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Whisk in butter and parsley until melted and incorporated.
  8. Return pork chops to the skillet along with any accumulated juices.
  9. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, turning chops once or twice, until the sauce clings to the meat and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
  10. Serve immediately.
