  • 4 Servings
  • Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick and 4 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
  • 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • CRANBERRY RICE:
  • 1-3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups instant brown rice
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

Directions

  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, seasoned salt and pepper. Add pork chops, one at a time, and shake to coat. In a large skillet, cook pork in oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. In a small bowl, combine cranberry sauce and vinegar; pour over chops. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add rice and cranberries. Return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Serve pork chops with sauce and rice. Yield: 4 servings.

This was excellent but yes sweet. Very easy. Will definitely make again.

It might be because the cranbery sauce is probably loaded with sugar. For a healthier take, I used half the amount of sauce and replaced dried cranberries with fresh cranberries - tasted amazing!
