A delightful pork chop recipe featuring a tangy cranberry glaze that pairs perfectly with a side of rice and salad.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, cumin, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Mixing the sauce ingredients thoroughly ensures an even flavor distribution.
In a resealable bag, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork chops one at a time and shake to coat them evenly.
Shaking the pork chops in a bag is a quick and mess-free way to coat them.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops to achieve a nice sear.
Pour the prepared sauce over the pork chops in the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Simmering the sauce helps to thicken it and intensify the flavors.
Serve the pork chops with the sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with rice pilaf and a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
