# What You'll Need:
→ Pork Chops and Sauce
01 -
4 boneless pork loin center chops (approximately 1 inch thick)
02 -
Salt and pepper to taste
03 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
04 -
Flour for dredging
05 -
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
06 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
07 -
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
08 -
3/4 cup chicken broth or stock
09 -
1 Granny Smith apple, finely chopped
10 -
1 dash Italian seasoning
# How to Make It:
01 -
Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Lightly dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off the excess.
02 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
03 -
Add Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir until the mustard dissolves.
04 -
Stir in the chopped apples and a dash of Italian seasoning. Cook for a few minutes until the apples soften slightly.
05 -
Return the pork chops to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce further, if desired.
06 -
Plate the pork chops and spoon the apple sauce over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
