Apricot Pork Chops

Prep Time 30 minutes
Course Main Course
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless pork chops 1-inch thick
  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Apricot Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Fresh rosemary for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, and balsamic vinegar, creating a glossy glaze.
  • Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some glaze over each one. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5 to 15 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Check after 5 minutes! If you overcook boneless pork chops they can be very dry.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, garnish with fresh rosemary, and serve.
