A simple one-pan meal with boneless pork chops, sauerkraut, potatoes, apples and caraway seeds.

Provided by Laura

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.5 - 2 lb boneless pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
2 Tablespoon olive oil
4-6 medium russet potatoes
1 apple
18 ounces sauerkraut (undrained)
1 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 onion (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel and dice the potatoes, apple, and onion, if using. Set them aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
  • While the oven preheats, pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season very lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a large dutch oven on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
  • Add the oil. Once the oil is shimmering (about 1 minute), add the pork chops. Brown on each side for about 3 minutes per side. They should easily release once they're ready to be flipped.
  • Set the pork chops aside and add the saurkraut to the hot dutch oven. With a wooden spoon, gently scrape the bottom to deglaze it. Add the onion, potatoes and apples and then lay the pork chops on top. Sprinkle the caraway seeds.
  • Cover and bake in the oven for one hour. Remove the dutch oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve!
