This recipe was an accident. I was experimenting with flavors and wasn't expecting much out of it, but the apple cider addition yielded some of the best pork I've ever tasted (and the boyfriend agreed).
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried sage , divided
- 0.25 teaspoons dried rosemary
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 porks chops , 6 ounce
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
-
1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
-
2
Combine brown sugar, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Dredge pork chops in seasoning mixture until coated thoroughly.
-
3
Heat olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until butter is frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. Brown pork chops in the hot skillet on each side, 7 to 10 minutes total. Add apple cider, remaining sage, and drizzle in honey. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
-
4
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until pork chops are no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
-
5
Remove the skillet from the oven and plate pork chops with sauce.

Creamy Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo
You'll love my recipe variation on this creamy chicken and shrimp Alfredo. It's a little heavy on the hips, but worth every bite. A perfect match with a nice green salad, and you must have garlic bread to sop up this creamy sauce.

Easy Smoked Salmon Pasta
A really quick, easy sauce for pasta asciutta (dry pasta). This smoked salmon pasta recipe is not overloaded with sauce but one that appreciates the simple smokiness of good smoked salmon. Serve sprinkled with some Parmesan or garnished with some parsley. This is not a creamy, thick sauce: just one that brings out the simple yet fantastic flavors of smoked salmon.
