Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth, fresh thyme leaves, and honey to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and apples. Cover and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C).
Remove the lid and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the garlic-apple mixture and drizzled with the wine sauce.
