Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops or boneless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mango chutney
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops or chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the mango chutney, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice, mixing until well combined. Let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Return the pork chops or chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the chutney sauce over the top. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and tender (internal temperature should be 145°F for pork and 165°F for chicken).

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro (if using) and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
