Servings: 4 Prep 10 mins Cook 12 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 5 ounces bone-in pork chops
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup apple juice
  • 1/3 cup jarred chutney
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • Mixed green salad (such as Earthbound Farms Power Mix; optional)

Make It

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season pork chops with 1/4 tsp of the salt and the pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until temperature reaches 145 degrees F. Remove chops to a plate.

2. Sprinkle flour over bottom of skillet and cook 30 seconds. Stir in apple juice and chutney. Simmer 1 minute until smooth and thickened; stir in mustard.

3. Meanwhile, pour broth into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add onion; simmer 2 minutes. Stir in couscous, peas and remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Cover and let stand 5 minutes.

4. Fluff couscous gently with a fork. Serve with pork chops, chutney sauce and, if desired, mixed green salad.

Tip

  • Look for thinner cuts of meat to cut down on cooking time.
