This pork chops with apples and onions dish is a deliciously light and flavorful meal that's perfect for Fall. Plus, it's all made in ONE pan!

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 3-4 oz bone-in pork chops (whatever with comfortably fit in your pan)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 3/4 cup low sodium chicken stock
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (or whole-grain Dijon)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh sage (chopped)
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme (chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 medium apples (thinly sliced (I used Gala))
  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)

Directions

  1. 1

    Season both sides of pork chops with kosher salt and black pepper. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to large heavy bottomed pan (or skillet), and heat over MED-HIGH heat. Add pork chops to pan, leaving at least an inch between the chops to ensure even cooking and browning. Sear 3-5 minutes per side, or until pork chops are mostly done. Chops will continue cooking in the sauce later.

  2. 2

    Remove pork chops to a plate.

  3. 3

    In a small mixing bowl, whisk together chicken stock and mustard, set aside.

  4. 4

    Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the pan, then add apples and onions. Cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, pepper, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Pour in stock mixture, using a wooden spoon to gently scrape the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits (those are full of great flavor).

  6. 6

    Slide pork chops back into the pan, nestling them down in between the apples.

  7. 7

    Cook 2-3 minutes, until pork chops are finished cooking and liquid has reduced by half.
