Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium Apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Stir in the sliced apples, curry powder, and ground cinnamon. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the apples to soften slightly.
Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release browned bits. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or curry powder if desired.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Remove the skillet from heat. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the pork chops with the curried apple onion sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
