Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each)
  • 3 medium apples, cut into wedges
  • 1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
  1. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown the pork chops on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the apples, onion, and water. Nestle the pork chops on top of the mixture.
  3. Drizzle the chops with the balsamic vinaigrette and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer gently until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F — about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Serve warm, with a little of the apple-onion mixture spooned over each chop.

A Few Handy Tips

🍖 Want to use pork tenderloin instead?

Absolutely! Pork tenderloin is tender, lean, and cooks beautifully in a pan, oven, or on the grill. Just slice it into medallions and follow the same steps — it’s an easy swap.

🍗 Cooking for chicken lovers?
No problem. This recipe works wonderfully with chicken breasts, too. Just replace the pork with chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. The sweet-and-savory flavors pair just as nicely!
