Skillet Apple Pork Chops

Skillet Apple Pork Chops

Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2-4 bone-in pork chops
  • 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted chicken stock 
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh sage
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and swirl to coat evenly.
  2. Generously sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  3. Add pork chops to the heated skillet. Cook about 5-7 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the chop. Remove the chops from the pan when cooked through or the center reaches 145 degrees.
  4. While your chops are cooking, whisk together the chicken stock and mustard in a small bowl. Set aside for later. Additionally, slice up your apples and onion, and chops up the herbs. 
  5. After the chops are removed from the skillet, add the remaining oil and swirl to coat. 
  6. Add the chopped sage and rosemary, sliced apples and onions to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  7. Lastly, stir in the stock mixture. Allow for a light simmer.
  8. Return the pork chops to the pan and cook for a few more minutes or until the liquid has reduced.
This is a straight up copy-cat from My Recipes. It works really well with chicken thighs also!
