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

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the apple butter, chicken broth, and dried thyme. Mix well to create a smooth sauce.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops drizzled with the apple butter sauce. Enjoy with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
