Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup fruit jam (apricot, raspberry, or peach)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge the seasoned pork chops lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Stir in the fruit jam, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar. Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth while stirring to combine. Add the thyme leaves and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes. Spoon more sauce over the top before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
