Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup apple butter
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the apple butter, chicken broth, and dried thyme. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through, until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once the pork chops are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes. If desired, simmer the sauce uncovered for a few more minutes to thicken.
Serve the pork chops drizzled with the apple butter sauce. Enjoy with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
