Maple Dijon Apple Cider Sauced Pork ChopsUP NEXT
Cook Notes: This delicious autumn dish is packed with fall flavors. I made the sauce separately and spooned it over the grilled pork chops. Another dinner alternative would be to use chicken breasts with the apple sauce pictured below, following the same directions. The meal was paired with parmesan risotto.
Ingredients:
- Two pork chops or two chicken breasts
- 3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 crisp apples, diced
Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1/2 chicken broth (low sodium)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (not pancake syrup)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon apple brandy or dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon each thyme and rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions:
- Grill pork chop or chicken or pan sear in a fry pan.
- Stir fry onions in a large fry pan for about 5 minutes. Add garlic cloves and stir fry for 1 minute more.
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl, adding diced apples. Add the sauce to a large frying pan with cooked onions, garlic cloves, and meat if not grilling. Cook on low, uncovered, until the sauce thickens, about 25 minutes, and the apples are tender. Add wine or brandy. If grilling, add cooked meat to the sauce. Cook uncovered 5-6 minutes longer. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the meat is done.
