Ingredients
Method
- Season both sides of your pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Carefully wrap each pork chop with 2-3 slices of bacon and secure the ends with a toothpick.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
- Cook the top and bottom sides of the bacon-wrapped pork chops for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the bacon is crispy and golden.
- Remove the pork chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate. If the pan is dry, add more olive oil or half of the butter.
- Finely chop the onion and add it to the pan, sautéing until it becomes translucent and softened.
- Mince the garlic and add it to the pan with the onions, sautéing for a few more minutes until fragrant.
- Add the apple cider vinegar and chicken stock to the pan, bringing it to a simmer and reducing slightly to create a savory sauce.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the bacon pork chops in batches if necessary to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- For perfectly cooked pork: Ensure internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness, followed by a 3-minute rest.
- Storage: Leftover bacon pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to maintain moisture.
- Sauce variation: For a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream with the chicken stock and simmer until slightly thickened. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
