• 4 stir in the sauerkraut, and place the chops on top, including any juices that have collected. cover the skillet, lower the heat and cook until the chops are done, about 7 minutes, depending on thickness. do not overcook.
• 5 note1: i've also made this successfully with chardonnay, but riesling is the best.
• 6 note2: sauerkraut packed in plastic bags and sold in the refrigerator case tastes much better than the canned.
