Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
6 (1/2 inch thick) boneless pork chops
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons brown sugar, not packed
⅔ cup butter
1 cup apricot preserves
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ cup chopped pecans
2 (15 ounce) cans cut yams, drained (reserve liquid)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Season pork chops with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook pork chops until browned on both sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain pork chops on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Heat brown sugar, butter, apricot preserves, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, and pecans in a saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar has dissolved and sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce because too thick, stir in reserved yam liquid.
  • Stir in yams until well coated.
  • Transfer pork chops to the prepared baking dish.
  • Spoon yam mixture on top of the pork chops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops no longer pink in the center, 30 to 45 minutes. Allow pork chops to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
