Ingredients
6 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
1 pound baby carrots, (3 cups)

3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions
In a covered saucepan cook carrots in a small amount of boiling water about 12 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush chops lightly with a little oil and brown 2 minutes on each side. Add apple cider, thyme, salt and pepper to skillet; cover tightly and cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes or until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees Fahrenheit, followed by a 3-minute rest time. Arrange chops and carrots on a serving platter; keep warm.
