Very easy way to "fancy" up pork chops. And tastes delicious. I used apple cider rather than juice. Love the flavor of apples and pork together. I think some chopped, fresh sage would also be good instead of the chives, or added with them.

Yum. This was really simple and very good. I did make a little more sauce than called for because we love it - and this sauce was delish. Thanks for sharing this great keeper, Annacia. Made for Went To The Market Tag.
