For the best browning on your chops, pat them dry with a paper towel before searing in the hot skillet.

Ingredients

4 7-8 ounce bone-in pork center-cut rib chops, trimmed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Nonstick cooking spray
2 firm cooking apples, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup dry white wine
¼ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 - 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon butter
Hot cooked brown rice (optional)
Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Directions

Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Coat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat skillet over medium-high. Add meat; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until browned on both sides. Remove from skillet; keep warm.
In skillet combine apples, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium-high 6 to 8 minutes or until apples are golden, stirring occasionally. Carefully add wine; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to scrape up crusty brown bits. Stir in broth, mustard, and butter. Return meat to skillet. Simmer, covered, 4 to 6 minutes or until just cooked through (145°F).
Serve meat and apple mixture with rice and sprinkle with thyme (if using).
