Who doesn’t like the 70’s show “The Brady Bunch”? Well I like it & one of my favorite episodes is the episodes is when Peter tries to change his personality. He continues to say pork chops and apple sauce. Well because of this I have created my own version of pork chops and apple sauce. Since my boyfriend doesn’t eat a lot of vegetables this recipe it for one serving.
Kristin’s Pork Chops & Apples
2 boneless pork chops
2 cups chicken broth
1 Fugi apple, cored and chopped into medium sized pieces. I have tried other apples for this recipe. I just found the fugi apple not as sweet as other apples and it’s perfect for this savory dish.
2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
1 cup frozen green beans. I buy most of my vegetables frozen. I feel they are just as good as fresh and they last longer than fresh vegetables.
2 tablespoons frozen diced onions.
Salt,pepper and garlic powder to season the pork chops and green beans.
Here’s how to make it.
1. Place pork chops in a Tupperware container and seasoning with salt. Then pour 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth over the pork chops. This will. marinate the chops. Leave in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. I normally try to marinate my meats for at least 2 hours but in a pinch 30 minutes will work just fine.
2. After chops have marinated take them out of marinade and dry off the liquid with paper towels. Disregard marinade. Place chops on cutting board or paper plate. Season both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
3. Heat sautee pan on medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once oil is hot place seasoned chops in pan and brown on each side until cooked through. About 5 minutes per side.
4. While chops are cooking, chop the apple. No need to peel it. Just remove the core. Also while the chops are cooking place onions in a small pan with olive oil and sautee until slightly softened. Once onion is softened put the frozen green beans in and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cover pan and cook until heated through.
5. Once chops are done remove from pan and set aside. Here comes the good part. Place apples in pan and cook for just a few minutes. Then add the rest of the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar. Cook for a few minutes then add the chops back to the pan. Cook another 2 minutes on each side.
Once everything is done plate it up.
This is one of my favorite meals just because I really like apples. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! 💕
