Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil plus more for cooking
  • 2 lb pork chops about 4 oz each
  • Approx. 2 tsp Hatch Green Chile Pepper Salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ cup chicken stock
  • 1 large white onion sliced into ¼-inch rings
Optional: Your favorite salad or side dishes for serving
(Pork chops can easily be swapped with chicken breast if desired.)

Method
 

Season the Chops
  1. Brush pork chops on both sides with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle Hatch green chile salt over both sides.
Sear the Pork
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high with a bit more oil. Arrange the pork chops in the pan (in batches if needed) and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until nicely grilled. Remove and let them rest while you make the sauce.
Cook the Onions
  1. In the same pan, add onion slices and cook for about 3 minutes, or until slightly translucent.
Add Broth & Reduce
  1. Pour in chicken stock, bring to a rapid boil, and season to taste. Lower the heat and simmer until the liquid reduces by about one-third.
Finish Cooking the Pork
  1. Return the pork chops to the pan, spoon the remaining sauce over them, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half—this should take just a couple more minutes.
Serve & Enjoy
  1. Plate two chops per person, spoon the onions and sauce over top, and serve with your favorite sides or salad.
