Season the veal chuck chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside while preparing the vegetables.
Thinly slice the onions, core and chop the cabbage into 1-inch pieces, and peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Mince the garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the veal chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5-7 minutes until caramelized.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cabbage and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, apple cider vinegar, dried thyme, and honey. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the veal chops to the skillet, nestling them into the cabbage and apple mixture. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the veal is tender and cooked through.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot, spooning the cabbage, apples, and sauce over the veal chops. Pair with mashed potatoes or crusty bread for a complete meal.
