• 2  boneless pork loin chops, 1 inch thick

Directions

1. Season pork chops with some salt and pepper to your liking. Heat oil in a large skillet on high heat. Add pork chops; brown well, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to plate.
2. Add onions to skillet; cook until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, dried cherries, orange marmalade, vinegar and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; boil rapidly on medium heat until broth is reduced by half.
3. Reduce heat. Add pork chops to pan, cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until done. (cook pork chops longer on lower heat if thicker of have bone in them) Internal temperature should be 160 degrees. Add more chicken broth if needed.
