Directions

1. Pat the pork chops dry. Season both sides evenly with the garlic salt.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chops and sprinkle the fennel seeds evenly over the tops. Sear until well browned, 3–4 minutes per side.
3. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the chops, cover, and simmer 8–10 minutes more, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
4. If the pan looks dry during simmering, add a splash of wine or water to prevent scorching. Let the chops rest off heat for 5 minutes before serving.
