- 1 large clove of garlic minced

Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- Place one pork chop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the meat into 1/4-inch thick medallions.
- Repeat with the other 3 chops.
- In a wide, shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
- Press the chops into the flour mixture to coat each and then shake off the excess flour.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil.
- Sauté the pork chops for 3 minutes.
- Flip them over and sauté for another 2 minutes until almost cooked through. You might have to do this in 2 batches. Transfer the cooked pork to a serving platter and tent it with foil to keep warm.
- Add the garlic to the pan. Deglaze with the wine, whisking up any browned flour bits. Cook until the wine reduces and the garlic is golden, approximately 2 minutes.
- Whisk into the pan the broth and lemon juice.
- Add the pork medallions back to the pan and cook for just 1 minute until warmed through.
- Wipe the serving platter clean with a paper towel and transfer the pork back to the serving platter.
- Add the capers and butter to the sauce and stir until it is silky and smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the pork.
- Sprinkle the parsley over each.
- Place 2 lemon slices on each chop. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as risotto, polenta, or potatoes, and a Caprese salad.
