Pork Chop with Cider Sauce

I some times forget about pork. And then I finally eat some and my mouth waters and I wonder 'How did I ever forget you?!?'. Really, Pork can be cheaper than a cut of beef, and it can be as healthy as chicken! So on my last trip to the grocery store, I found a price on some chops and just had to try a recipe with them! I honestly have never cooked pork before, so it was a new adventure, but that's what I do! Constantly sticking my self in new cooking adventures and finding out the results as I go! 

But this recipe, oh my, SOOOO GOOOD! As it was cooking my husband kept telling me it smelled delicious. And as we ate, he said it was a better meal than going out to Outback Steak House! Yes! Chalking points up for the Newly Wife! Ya'll, this is delicious and juicy and a winner recipe for sure!

Ingredients

• 4 center-cut bone-in pork chops about 3/4-inch thick (we did 2 chops!)
• Salt and pepper 
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 
• 1onion, thinly sliced (my husband liked them thicker, they got the best flavor from the sauce!)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage (I used rubbed dried sage)
• 1 1/2 cups apple cider (I just brewed some apple cider in the Keurig and it worked great! It may have been a little more "water" than buying the cider, but the taste was great and it was cheaper!)

Preparation

1. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, warm olive oil. Add onions and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Push onions to edges of skillet and add chops. Cook, turning once, until browned, about 6 minutes total.
2. Sprinkle sage over chops and pour cider into pan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chops are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove chops from pan, raise heat to high, and boil sauce until reduced and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour sauce and onions over chops and serve.

Letting the chops rest while the sauce finished cooking!

Hot and steamy dinner is served! Pork chops, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and spinach salad!
