Whole30 Sweet And Savory Pork Chops

Starting Whole30 has presented me with many challenges. The most common being, “can I eat this?”. I’m so used to cooking pork chops with brown sugar, and other non Whole30 compliant ingredients so figuring out how to make these taste as good as what I’m used to was a challenge. Nevertheless…challenge accepted!

Per usual, I’m a big fan of recipes with 10 or less ingredients and the Whole30 diet makes that so easy since the focus is on WHOLE ingredients! These succulent pork chops are made with apples, red onions, fresh herbs, chicken stock, dijon mustard and a little balsamic vinegar. Did I mention this is a one pan recipe? I cooked mine in my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and everything fit perfectly!

The Whole30 food list is overwhelming, there are so many ingredients you can’t have, but I’ll post all my feelings about the diet once I’ve completed it…stay tuned! For now, I’m focusing on what I CAN eat and sharing recipes with my followers so anyone participating in the diet can have some easy go-to meals.

This recipe yields two servings and it saves well so you can bring the leftovers to work for lunch!

    Thank you so much for this site. I love it! I had my Air Fryer sitting on my counter for months, that is until you came along and saved my life. I fractured my pelvis and couldn’t leave my house, it took four months for me to feel well enough to see the world. And, I am not a happy camper because I gained 15 pounds, ugh. Now you know why you saved my life. Thank you so much for those healthy recipes keep them coming
