Time 1h27m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 (1-inch thick) pork chops
2 cloves garlic, halved, or more to taste
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
2 ½ cups chicken broth
½ cup hard cider
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 bay leaf
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Rub each pork chop on both sides with halved garlic. Add 2 pork chops to the skillet; cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a 4-quart casserole dish. Repeat with remaining 2 pork chops.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add to pork chops in the casserole dish. Spread rice and apples on top.
  • Combine chicken broth, hard cider, cloves, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper in a 1-quart saucepan; bring to a boil. Pour broth mixture over apples in the casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the pork chops reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 45 minutes.

These pork chops were easy to make and turned out great! The hard cider sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these pork chops were not good. The hard cider sauce was too sweet and the chops were dry.
