When the weather heats up, I like to use an electric skillet rather than turn on the oven.

Would love to gather more recipes for entrees that can be cooked in an electric skillet. The following recipe is one we've enjoyed many times.

Pork Chops with Apples and Onions

Ingredients

6 pork chops (6 ounce), center cut, boneless
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken stock, nonfat, low sodium
1-1/2 pounds onions, peeled and sliced (8 cups)
4 ounces shallots (about 3 large), peeled and sliced
1 pound Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon sage

Instructions

Cut excess fat from chops and season both sides with salt and pepper. Preheat Cuisinart™ Electric Skillet to 350°F; sear chops until light brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes total. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Add 1/2-cup chicken stock to hot Skillet and stir up the nice brown bits from the chops, about 1 minute. Add onions, shallots, apples, the remaining stock, vinegar, caraway and sage. Bring to a boil; lower heat to maintain a simmer. Cover skillet; cook, stirring occasionally for about 20-25 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and the onions are tender. Add chops and their juices to onion mixture; cover and cook until meat registers 160ºF when tested with an instant-read thermometer, about
10 minutes longer. Serve hot.
