Recipe of the Week: Pork Chops with Nectarine Sauce

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 3 medium nectarines or peeled peaches, cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon honey, optional

 

Directions:

1. Sprinkle pork chops with seasonings. Dredge lightly with flour. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook chops until a thermometer reads 145°, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan; keep warm.
2. Add onion to same pan; cook and stir over medium heat 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add nectarines; cook until lightly browned on both sides. Stir in broth and, if desired, honey; bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until nectarines are softened and sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve with chops.
