HELP! Problem with one pan porkchops right now!

Hello....I'm currently in the process of making on pan pork chops (cooking light). It says to brown on each side for 5 min, then you cook at 300 for an hour.

The problem: After browning, the pork is done! I just stuck them in the oven with the sauce. Should I still keep in for an hour? They seemed pretty done already.

Thanks! Recipe below.


whiskey flavored one pan pork chops

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork chop and about 1/3 cup sauce)


Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 (6-ounce) bone-in center-cut pork chops, trimmed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup whiskey

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300°.
Combine the first 6 ingredients in a small bowl.
Sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; sauté 5 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove pork from pan. Add onion and mushrooms to pan; sauté for 3 minutes. Carefully add whiskey to pan; cook for 1 minute or until liquid almost evaporates. Stir sour cream mixture into pan. Return pork to pan; spoon sauce over pork.
Wrap handle of skillet with foil. Cover and bake at 300° for 1 hour. Serve immediately.

I would skip the oven.
I bet the original recipe used thick pork chops and yours were thinner.
The point of the oven is to limit browning but continue cooking, so I would skip the oven.

Yea, that was exactly my concern on the previous thread about this dish: I can pan-fry an 8 oz bone-in pork chop in under 10 minutes. The recipe says "or until golden" but I would imagine that would still be pretty close to five minutes.
Hope the dish turned out OK, because the flavors sound great! Pork chops on the menu here tonight, too.

It turned out great. As soon as I saw the first reply, I took it out of the oven, cut a sliver and tasted it...and it wasn't dry at all, but definitely done, so I stuck it back in for just a bit...maybe 15-20 min while I made potatoes. Then I kept it out just until time to eat, then snuck it back in for about 5 minutes to get it nice and hot. It was a huge hit! The plates were practically licked clean. Delicious.

Great! Glad to hear it worked out and that the dish was a big hit!
I've been busy with other kitchen putterings, so my pork chop is on hold til Monday. But one of my putterings was to roast a little sugar pie pumpkin, so I'm planning on the chop w/a pan sauce, the pumpkin, mushrooms, and roasted Brussels sprouts. I love fall menus!
