I just love this sauce, and it is so easy to put together, too. Though I haven't tried it with chicken yet, I think it would be great with 4 chicken breast fillets substituted for the pork chops--simply increase the simmering time (in step number 6).

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4 inch thick
10 sun-dried tomatoes, coarsely chopped (NOT oil-packed)
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup madeira wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/2 cup cold water
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

1
In a small saucepan, cover the sun-dried tomato pieces with chicken broth and madeira; bring to a boil, remove from heat and allow to stand about 10 minutes to plump the tomatoes.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-heat.
3
Add the pork chops and brown on both sides; remove from skillet and set aside.
4
Add shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook briefly (till they become fragrant).
5
Stir in tomatoes with the liquid and chopped rosemary.
6
Return the chops to the skillet, cover tightly and cook over low heat (just simmering) for 5 to 6 minutes (longer as needed for chicken breasts) until they are cooked through.
7
Remove the meat from the skillet to serving platter.
8
Combine water and cornstarch; add to the skillet.
9
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
10
Top the meat with the sauce and serve.

Just made this tonight. It was an adventure. My stove wasn't working and all I had was an electric frying pan. So, I sauteed some onion, garlic with butter, added a cup of rice to the pan, sauteed that for a bit, then added chick broth and a tablespoon of chopped rosemary, put it in a covered casserole and into a 350 oven for 40 minutes. Wiped out the electric fry pan with paper towels and started this dish. I also used sun dried tomatoes in oil (rinsed off), chopped them and put them in a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup. Added port wine (only sweeter wine I had), and the broth. Since I had no stove, I microwaved the mixture for about a minute and 15 seconds and let it stand, and proceeded to cook the chops etc. I only had a yellow onion, no shallots. At the end after I thickened the sauce I added a tablespoon of butter to richen it up. The moistest, yummiest pork chops EVER. And with the rice. Even without a stove and one pot it worked. Thank you for this recipe. It was a life saver today!

This made a delicious dinner, I used boneless, skinless chicken breast and pounded them so they wouldn't be so thick. The sun-dried tomatoes, wine, shallots, garlic & rosemary made it so flavorfull. What a yummy sauce for the chicken. I am sure it would be delicious on pork chops. Thank you Minx for posting the recipe

This is everything I like in a recipe, quick to prepare, simple ingredients, fairly healthy and fabulous flavor. Plus, the sauce is wonderfully aromatic and the color is quite appealing. Though I was only making 2 chicken breasts, I made a full batch of the sauce and spooned it over some pasta. Yummmmmy! Another winner here Minx.
