Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 16 ounces Sauerkraut
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil.
Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the sliced onion and apple. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the sauerkraut to the skillet, spreading it evenly over the onion and apple mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the brown sugar and caraway seeds (if using).
Nestle the seared pork chops into the sauerkraut mixture, ensuring they are partially submerged.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the dish simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
Serve hot, pairing it with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal.
