French onion pork chops are a comforting one-pot meal featuring tender pork chops smothered in a rich onion gravy and melted mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil divided
- 2 Tablespoons butter divided
- 2 onions sliced
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 pork chops
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence optional
- 1 cup beef broth divided
- 1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder*
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese or 1 cup shredded
Instructions
- Place half of coconut oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add 1/2 cup broth and the vinegar. Continue cooking until the onions absorb the liquid. Remove onions from skillet
- Meanwhile, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence.
- Add remaining oil and butter to the skillet. Cook pork chops for about 4 minutes per side, until well browned.
- Add the onions back to the pan.
- Stir arrowroot powder into the remaining broth and add to the pan. Continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by half and turns into a thick gravy.
- Add one slice of mozzarella cheese (or 1/4 cup shredded) to each pork chop. If it doesn't melt easily, place a lid on the skillet to assist.
Notes
Cornstarch can be used in place of arrowroot powder, if desired.
