How to Make
These apple cider glazed pork chops are so easy!
To make them, combine the pork chops, 1 tablespoon of oil, garlic salt, onion powder, pepper and thyme, stirring them until they are completely coated.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
Once the pan is hot, cook the pork chops until golden brown and cooked all the way through, around 3-5 minutes per side.
When the pork chops are completely cooked, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
Then return the same pan to the burn over medium heat.
Whisk together the apple cider, brown sugar, butter and Dijon mustard, making sure to get all the bits from the bottom of the pan.
Cook the glaze on a medium heat until it thickens up.
Serve the pork chops over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles and drizzle the glaze all over top.
