Ingredients

4 boneless pork loin chops, about 3/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup lemon marmalade

Cooking Directions

Heat heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Brush chops with vegetable oil; sprinkle lemon pepper on both sides of chops. Brown on one side in hot skillet, about 4 minutes, turn and brown other side, about 4 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a 3-minute rest time. Remove chops from pan and keep warm. Carefully add vinegar to skillet, scraping up any brown bits. Stir in marinade. Return chops to skillet; turning once to coat.

Serving Suggestions

Elegant but easy, these sautéed chops are sauced with a deglazed pan sauce of marmalade. Next time try another fruit marmalade or preserves. Serve these chops with creamed spinach, mashed potatoes and a fruit salad.

Butcher's Tips

It’s important to note that all pork chops cook the same. The length of cooking primarily depends on the thickness of the chop. Thickness can vary from ½ to 2 inches. Whether you choose chops boneless for convenience or chops with the bone attached for their attractive appearance, the cooking time is the same. Pork chops are likely the least intimidating of all pork cuts because they are so easy to prepare.
