Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops (about 6 oz each)

4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped

1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/4 cup chicken broth (optional, for extra sauce)

Cooking Instructions

    1. Prepare the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bacon grease in the skillet.

    2. Caramelize the Onions: Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. This process requires patience but yields incredibly sweet and flavorful onions.

    3. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried thyme to the caramelized onions. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

    4. Sear the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops generously with salt and black pepper. In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned.

    5. Combine and Simmer: Add the seared pork chops to the skillet with the caramelized onions and bacon. If desired, add 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the skillet to create a bit more sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and tender. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145°F (63°C).

    6. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

      Pro Tips

      For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork chops for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before searing.

      If you don't have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute with balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar.

      Adjust the amount of smoked paprika to your preference. For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

      If you want the onions even sweeter, add a tiny pinch of a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia during the caramelization process.

      Servings & Cook Time
