Pioneer Woman Pork Chops And Sauerkaut
The Pioneer Woman’s Pork Chops with Sauerkraut Recipe, also known as German Pork Chops, is a hearty, comforting meal that the whole family is sure to adore and enjoy. It requires few ingredients and is so simple to prepare: just boneless pork chops, sauerkraut, apples, and the necessary cooking utensils.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless pork chops
- 2 small to medium apples sliced
- 2 ½ cups sauerkraut store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F.
- Place the olive oil in an oven-safe pan and heat over medium to high heat.
- Next, add the chops to the hot pan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to become golden brown.
- Flip them over and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan.
- At this stage, add the sauerkraut and apple slices to the pan, followed by the browned pork chops.
- Place your skillet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, covered.
- Remove the cover and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the pork achieves an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees.
- Finally, serve your pork chops with sauerkaut alone or with your favorite side.
Notes
- It’s okay to use either boneless or bone-in chops or pork, loins of pork will also work – no effect on flavor. I shop based on store sales.
- Brown the pork before finishing the chops in the oven. This adds amazing flavor and a tender result every time.
