Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any browned bits. Allow the wine to simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 6
Add the chicken broth, fresh thyme leaves, and honey to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 7
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and apples. Cover and let simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C).
Step 8
Remove the lid and let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 9
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with the garlic-apple mixture and drizzled with the wine sauce.
