Pork Chop and Baked Apple Wedges

I had pork chops in my freezer and I needed a protein for my salads this week. I found this recipe and thought it would be great for atop a kale spinach salad. This recipe is super quick and so delicious. I found it in the Brazil Butt Lift Recipe book. I did change it a little from the original because I did not have some of the ingredients. 

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided use
• 3 tsp. fresh lemon juice, divided use
• 1 clove of garlic minced
• 1 (5oz.) raw lean pork chop, centered cut. (I made enough for 3 services)
• 1 medium apple, cored, cut into 8 wedges
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees
2. Combine 1 tsp. oil, 2.5 tsp lemon juice, minced garlic in a small bowl; mix well
3. Place pork chop in a shallow dish, pour lemon juice mixture over chop, turning and using a brush to cover both sides. Marinate for 20 minutes, discard marinade.
4. While pork chops are marinating, combine apple, remaining 1/2 tsp. lemon juice and cinnamon in a small bowl; mix well 
5. Place apple wedges on baking sheet, lightly coated with spray
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until tender and bubbly. Remove from oven and set aside.
7. Preheat oven to Broil
8. Broil pork chops for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink in the middle.
9. Serve pork chops with apples and a salad.

Hope that you enjoy this simple, easy, and healthy recipe!
