Maple glaze sweetens pork chops

Here’s a way to add flavor to boneless pork chops. I find they can easily become dry when served without a sauce. This maple glaze solves that problem and adds a sweet and tangy sauce to the dish. You can make this quick dinner in one skillet. To speed the cooking time, the potatoes and broccoli are first cooked in the microwave.

Helpful Hints:

You can use yellow Yukon Gold potatoes instead of red potatoes.

Countdown:

Mix maple syrup, vinegar and mustard together.

Microwave vegetables.

Make pork and vegetables in skillet.

Shopping List:

To buy: 1 small bottle maple syrup, 1 jar Dijon mustard, 1 small bottle of apple cider vinegar, ½ pound red potatoes, ¼ pound broccoli florets, 2 6-ounce boneless pork chops

Staples: olive oil, salt and black peppercorns.

Skillet Maple-Glazed Pork Chops With Potatoes And Broccoli

Yield 2 servings. Recipe by Linda Gassenheimer

¼ cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

½ pound red potatoes

¼ pound broccoli florets, cut in half if large (about 1½ cups)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Two 6-ounce boneless pork chops

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mix maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and mustard in a small bowl and set aside.

Wash potatoes do not peel and cut into ½- to 1-inch pieces. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and add the broccoli florets. Microwave on high 4 to 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add pork chops, potatoes and broccoli. Saute 4 minutes, stirring vegetables as they cook. Turn the pork over and continue to stir the potatoes and broccoli. Saute 3 to 4 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 145 degrees. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the pork and vegetables between two dinner plates. Add maple syrup sauce to skillet and stir to warm through, about 1 minute. Spoon sauce over pork.
