You said chicken again. Make this instead.

Chicken is fine. Pork chops are better and nobody talks about them.

Cheaper. Faster. Done in 20 minutes. The mustard apple slaw takes 5 minutes while the chops rest — you're not doing anything anyway.

Orla suggested this from pork chops and an apple that was about to go bad. I would have made chicken.

If you're looking to switch up your weeknight dinner routine, pan-seared pork chops with mustard apple slaw is a fantastic choice that combines savory and sweet flavors effortlessly. Pork chops are not only an affordable option but also quick to cook, taking roughly 4-5 minutes per side to achieve a golden, juicy finish. Using simple pantry staples like olive oil, whole grain mustard, and apple cider vinegar helps create a bright, tangy slaw that complements the rich pork beautifully. From my experience, letting the pork chops rest after searing is crucial—it allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat tender. Meanwhile, tossing thinly sliced apples with mustard and vinegar is a fast way to prepare a refreshing side that adds a pleasant crunch. This meal is not just quick but fuels you with balanced flavors and nutrients, perfect after a busy day. The recipe’s flexibility is a bonus: you can swap apple cider vinegar for white wine vinegar or adjust the mustard amount to suit your taste. It also works well to make this dish your own by adding a dash of honey to the slaw or a sprinkle of fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary to the pork for added aroma. Overall, this recipe is a great way to break free from the usual chicken routine without extra effort. It’s budget-friendly, fast, and satisfying. Plus, with just a few ingredients and minimal prep, it feels more like a treat than a day-to-day dinner. Definitely worth adding to your quick recipes collection for those nights when you want something delicious on the table without the fuss.

there's a step between melted butter and burned butter that most people skip straight past. it's called brown butter. the milk solids in the butter caramelise and turn nutty — it smells like toffee and toasted hazelnuts and it tastes nothing like regular butter. that's the sauce.
