Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Granny Smith apples
• 1 piece yellow onion
• 0.5 head green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside to let the flavors settle.

Step 2

Slice the apples into thin wedges, the onion into thin slices, and the cabbage into shreds. Set them all aside separately.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted and hot, add the pork chops.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the skillet. Add the sliced apples and onions.

Step 6

Cook the apples and onions for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 7

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 8

Pour in the apple cider vinegar and chicken broth, then sprinkle the cinnamon over the mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Return the pork chops and their juices to the skillet, nestling them into the apple and cabbage mixture.

Step 10

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the pork is fully cooked and the cabbage is tender.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
