Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large yellow onions (sliced thinly)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Step 3

Once the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the sliced onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and caramelized.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the onions and sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

If using, sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the top before serving.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops smothered in the onion sauce with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
