Autumn Apple Pork Skillet With Rice

I love this dish!! Of course anything with pork and apples, is one of my favorites - I got this recipe from Minute Rice -

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons brown sugar
• 2  teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 3⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 4  pork chops, fast fry, bone-in
• 1  tablespoon  vegetable oil
• 2  tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 1  small onion, thinly sliced
• 2  apples, cored and chopped
• 1 1⁄4 cups chicken broth
• 1 1⁄4 cups  apple juice
• 2  cups Minute Rice
• 1⁄4 cup green onion, sliced
•  thinly sliced apple

Directions

1. Toss the brown sugar with the cinnamon, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub the spice mixture evenly all over the pork chops. Heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a plate; brush evenly with cider vinegar. Tent with foil to keep warm; reserve.
2. Add the butter, onion, and apple to the same skillet. Cook stirring often, for 5 minutes or until browned and tender. Pour in the chicken broth and apple juice; bring to a boil. Stir in the rice.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low; cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Uncover and top the cooked rice with the reserved pork chops; sprinkle evenly with green onions. Garnish with additional apple (if using).
