One Pan Pork Chops with Apples and Onions

Name: One Pan Pork Chops with Apples and Onions
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 16 min
Total time: 26 min
Yield: 3 -4 servings
Ingredients: 2 Tbsp olive oil (divided); 3-4 oz bone-in pork chops (whatever with comfortably fit in your pan); Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste); 3/4 cup low sodium chicken stock; 1 tsp Dijon mustard (or whole-grain Dijon); 1 Tbsp fresh sage (chopped); 1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped); 1/2 tsp fresh thyme (chopped); 1/2 tsp kosher salt; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 2 medium apples (thinly sliced (I used Gala)); 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)

This pork chops with apples and onions dish is a deliciously light and flavorful meal that’s perfect for Fall. Plus, it’s all made in ONE pan!

These pork chops have everything you love about a comforting Fall dish… mouthwatering, well balanced flavors, is healthy yet hearty, and is made in just ONE pan in 30 minutes!

You guys really love one pan/one pot meals… and I’m bringing you another great one! When I posted my One Pot Chicken and Dirty Rice recipe… I had no idea it was going to take off as much as it has. I’ve also gotten quite a few reader requests for more one pan/one pot meals, so I knew I had to get to work 😉

This recipe isn’t mine however, I got it from Cooking Light magazine, then made a few tweaks and changes.

There’s something so satisfying about cooking a meal in ONE pan. You feel accomplished, like you’re working smarter, not harder… and there’s the huge bonus… you only have to wash one pan! I don’t know about you, but I loathe doing dishes. Some meals can seriously fill up your sink (and then some), so these one pan meals are a nice change of pace.

I used fresh herbs in this dish since I’m a huge fan of using them whenever possible, but I know not everyone keeps a steady supply of fresh herbs in their house, so you can swap them out for dried (just use about 1/3 of the amount) if that’s what you have on hand. No need to run out to the store 🙂

In the magazine, they actually made this meal using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, so if you’d prefer to use those, no problem. I just really like the flavor of pork and apples… they’re a match made in Fall heaven! I also chose to use bone-in pork chops, since I find they have better flavor and don’t get dried out as easily… but I know not everyone likes cooking with bone-in meat, so you can also use boneless pork chops if you’d prefer.

While this dish is plenty hearty, a great meal deserves a great side dish or two… so here are a few of my favorites… brussels sprouts with toasted hazelnut butter, horseradish mashed potatoes with caramelized onions, and slow cooker ranch mushrooms!

The next time you’re looking for a great weeknight meal that’s ready in a flash… give these pork chops with apples and onions a try!
