Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 4 (4 ounce) boneless pork chops
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 small sweet apples, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup honey mustard (such as Heinz(R))
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Method

  • Combine olive oil and butter in a pan large and deep enough to hold all 4 pork chops plus a few inches of cooking liquid, like a frying pan or roasting dish. Heat over medium-high heat.
  • Season pork chops with salt, garlic powder, parsley, oregano, and pepper. Place flour in a shallow bowl and lightly dredge pork chops in the flour, shaking off excess.
  • Place coated pork chops in the hot pan without crowding; work in batches if necessary. Cook until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and add apples, onion, and garlic. Cook until onions start to become opaque, about 5 minutes more. Add chicken stock, honey, and thyme. Cover pan and allow to braise until chops are no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes more.
