Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 0.5 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, apricot preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar to make the sweet glaze.
Pour the glaze into the skillet with the onions and garlic, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops cook for 20-25 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serve the pork chops with the sweet glaze drizzled on top. Pair with mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
