Recipe: Caramelized Onion-Apple Pork Chops

Found this recipe and made it last night and it was spectacular...and Im not just saying that because I made it!lol It takes about an hour of prep time and then a few hours in the oven but its totally worth it!


Caramelized Onion Apple pork chop with a side of corn and peas! Yum!

Ingredients:
2 Tbs butter, divided
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
2 granny smith apples, skinned & chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup fat free chicken broth
1/2 cup apple juice
3 Tbs dijon mustard
4-6 (6oz) boneless pork chops

How To:
1) Melt 1 Tbs butter in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook and stir until tender for about five minutes. Lower heat just a bit and stir frequently until onions are caramelized, like about 20 minutes.
2) Spoon onion mixture into medium bowl; stir in cut up apples, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Let mixture cool for a few minutes. meanwhile cut a pocket into the side of each porkchop (I you tubed this cause I had never stuffed porkchops before!)
3) Stuff onion and apple mixture into each chop, reserving the extra. Dredge filled chops in flour. Melt remaining 1 Tbs butter in skillet, brown chops on both sides.
4) Place remaining onion mixture on chops in a casserole dish. Deglaze pan with chicken broth and apple juice and stir in mustard. Then pour mixture over chops. Cover and cook at 325 or 350 for about 2 hours.

You can serve with veggies or coleslaw or potatoes! The porkchop is healthy and is only 7 points plus on WW! Enjoy!
