By lamarandrose

Brighten up your plates by serving two colorful veggie sides with the chops. Mashed sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli are excellent accompaniments, as are tossed salad and sautéed green beans

Ingredients

• 4 center-cut bone-in pork chops about 3/4-inch thick
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
• 1 1/2 cups apple cider

Preparation

Step 1

1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm olive oil. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Push onions to edges of skillet and add chops. Cook, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes total.

2. Sprinkle sage over chops and pour cider into pan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chops are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chops from pan, raise heat to high, and boil sauce until reduced and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour sauce and onions over chops and serve.
