Pork Chops with Fennel and Lemon

I thought of Alyssa when I saw this recipe b/c of how much she loves fennel! :)

From South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook

4 (6-ounce) bone-in pork chops, about 1/2 in. thick
1 T olive oil
1 lg fennel bulb, sliced into 1/2 -inch strips
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 c. low-sodium chicken broth
2 T fresh lemon juice
Salt and Pepper

Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate

Add fennel and onion to the same skillet and cook until lightly browned and softened, about 3 minutes. Add broth and lemon juice, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until fennel is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Uncover and simmer until liquid is reduced slightly, about 3 minutes.

Add pork back to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot!
