Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless pork loin chops
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
  • cup orange juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 5 green onions or scallions chopped
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
  • Add onions and garlic and pork chops to skillet.
  • Brown both sides of pork chops, about 4-5 minutes each side or until no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove pork chops and add apricot preserves to pan with onions (or scallions) and garlic.
  • Add orange juice and cinnamon to skillet and simmer until thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Return pork chops to the skillet, turning to coat each side in the sauce; cook 1 minute. Pork chops are done when a meat reaches an internal temp of 145°f .
  • Serve and spoon sauce over pork chops.

Notes

  • Heat the skillet over medium-high heat about a minute before adding the pork chops. A hot pan helps to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops.
  • When pan frying the chops, let them cook in the skillet without moving them for a few minutes to develop a golden crust on the outside.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of chops. Bone-in chops can take a little longer.
  • Pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145° f.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
