Cider-Glazed Pork Chops
Delicious and juicy pork chops glazed with a sweet and tangy cider sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and thyme. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some sauce over them.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon additional sauce over the top if desired.
