Pork Chops with Sauteed Apples and Sauerkraut

Remember that Brady Bunch episode where they have pork chops and applesauce?? Well, here is a new take on that classic recipe! Instead of the mashed apple sauce, this recipe uses chopped sautéed apples, a touch of cinnamon and the salty addition of sauerkraut to balance things out.  I am a quantity eater, so I love the fact that you get a huge helping of sauerkraut and tasty apples to accompany the meat in this dish.  This recipe is a slight adaptation of this Weight Watchers recipe. Enjoy!

Servings: 2

Serving Size: 1, cooked, 3 oz pork chop and 1 1/4 cup of apple sauerkraut mixture

Points Plus: 5pp

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes (or less)

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

2, 3 oz pork chops, raw

1 1/2 cups sauerkraut

1 apple, peeled and chopped

1/8 t. cinnamon

Cooking spray

Salt + pepper to taste

Instructions

Spray a non-stick skillet and heat to medium.  Add pork chops and cook through, about 3 minutes on each side.  Remove pork from your pan and place it somewhere to keep it warm (I put mine in the microwave).

Spray your same pan again and add apples, cinnamon, salt and pepper.  Sauté until apples are soft, about 5 minutes.  Add your sauerkraut and sauté until everything is warm, about 4 more minutes.

Tip

You can adjust the cinnamon depending on how sweet you like things.  I reduced the cinnamon by half, in comparison to the original recipe, and it was perfect!
