Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or stevia
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Deglaze the pan by adding balsamic vinegar and chicken broth. Stir to loosen any browned bits stuck to the skillet.
Step 5
Add the raspberries, granulated erythritol or stevia, and thyme leaves to the skillet. Stir well and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until the raspberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the raspberry sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops cook in the sauce for 8-10 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. If the sauce is too thin, continue simmering it uncovered for 2-3 more minutes to thicken.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops with a generous spoonful of raspberry sauce on top. Pair with steamed vegetables or a leafy green salad for a balanced, diabetic-friendly meal.
