How to Make Pork Chops With Cherry Sauce

  1. Season two pork chops (about 1 inch thick) generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  3. Add pork chops to the hot skillet and sear for 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
  4. Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup dried cherries, 2 tablespoons orange marmalade, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer rapidly until the sauce has reduced by half, about 8-10 minutes.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Return pork chops to the skillet.
  9. Spoon the cherry sauce over the pork chops and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 160°F (71°C). Add a little more chicken broth if the sauce becomes too thick.
  10. Serve immediately, spooning the delicious cherry sauce generously over the pork chops.
