If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the chops to a baking dish after searing and then broil for a minute or two to melt the feta.

    I added a splash of white wine to the skillet before covering it to deglaze the pan - it created an even more flavorful sauce!

  • Ronaldo Uptonkoch

    Easy to follow and the result was amazing. My family loved it! I used a cast iron skillet for even better searing.

  • Darian Crona

    Absolutely delicious! The lemon and herbs really brighten up the pork, and the feta adds a wonderful salty tang.
