seasoning salt |
pepper |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup chicken broth |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 apple |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon water |

4. Sauté chops in olive oil, in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned, flip and brown other side (approx 3-4 minutes per side). Remove chops from pan and rest on a platter while you make the compote.
5. Deglaze the skillet with chicken broth being sure to scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. When you have reduce the broth by about 1/2, add the apple mixture and juices release from the rested pork chops and stir until well combine. Season to taste and serve over the pork chops. If wish, you can return the pork chops to the pan to coat before serving.
