Ready in: 40 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 (6 ounce) bone-in pork loin chops
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup maple syrup

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 20 mins

1. Pour 2 teaspoons oil into a skillet and set over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook for about 10 minutes to brown, then stir in ginger and cook for another 2 minutes.

2. Season pork chops with chili powder, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Pour 1 teaspoon oil into a large skillet and set over medium heat; when oil is hot, add pork chops and cook for about 6 minutes, flipping midway to brown both sides.

3. Pour chicken broth and maple syrup into the skillet with the pork chops and add the browned onions. When chicken broth comes to a boil, turn heat down to low and put a lid on the skillet.

4. Cook for about 10 minutes, until pork chops reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Transfer pork chops to a plate and continue cooking the sauce for another few minutes to reduce down to 1/2 cup. Serve with pork chops.
