Ingredients
- 4 – 6 oz Fresh Cut Pork Chops
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 T. Dijon mustard, divided use
- 3 T. avocado oil, divided use
- 1 medium sweet onion, sliced thinly
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, sliced thinly
- ¼ c. maple syrup
- 1 c. chicken stock or broth
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Season the pork chops on both sides with the sage, salt, and pepper.
- Use half of the Dijon mustard and spread a thin coating on each side of the pork chops.
- Add the 2 Tablespoons of avocado oil to the skillet and brown the pork chops on each side for 2-3 minutes. Remove to rest on a plate.
- Add the remaining oil, along with the sliced onions and apples, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they soften and start to caramelize.
- Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock, scraping the bottom to remove any stuck-on bits. Whisk in the maple syrup and the remaining mustard, and reduce the heat slightly.
- Add the pork chops back to the pan, scooping the apples and sauce on top. Let them cook in the sauce for a couple of minutes, until the sauce has reduced slightly and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F.
