Apricot-Soy Pork Chops
I found this Cooking Light recipe on MyRecipes and it sounded so good I decided to make it for dinner. It was pretty easy to make and tasted wonderful. I loved the tender pork with the sweet and salty apricot-soy sauce. My whole family liked it and they all said they would want to eat it again which is a good thing because I want to make it again!
How to Make Apricot-Soy Pork Chops
Heat a large skillet coated in cooking spray over medium heat. Season both sides of the pork chops with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste. Place into the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove from the pan; keep warm.
Add the olive oil to the same skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes or until softened. Add the apricot preserves, soy sauce, and minced garlic; cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until thickened. Add the pork and its juices back to the pan, turning to coat. Place onto a serving plate and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately Enjoy.

Yum, these pork chops look so tasty. I would love to have them for dinner too.
I love the taste of apricots and pork, with the addition of soya, the chops sound amazing! I’ll have to try them…Have a good week, Pam!
Yum! I love the flavors in this! Plus, I never get to use apricot preserves as much as I want to!
I won? Seriously? Oh my gosh…I am so excited! Thanks for the give-away, Pam!
Oh- and these pork chops are drool worthy this morning, Pam! I love fruit with pork (usually apples), and the apricot is a nice change. I find myself making more pork and chicken these days, and I am always looking for a fresh, new way to serve them. I am sure my family will love this recipe. I can’t wait to see what you served with this dish!
I am ALWAYS a fan of the sweet-and-salty combo. That marinade sounds delicious!
These sound really good.
Pam these look wonderful, I love all the ingredients! I know this would be a hit at our house!
Yum. Looks like another good one for Fall! Also you previous post had my mouth watering. I love the combination of chocolate and banana. I put chocolate chips in my banana bread sometimes!
Have a great day!

Scrumptious way to prepare pork chops! This looks delicious, Pam.
i’m always looking for ways to spice up a chop. this looks awesome!
Could I try chicken?
The sauce looks so yummy. I love the combination of sweet and salty flavors. I’m adding it to my “recipes to try” list.
i would never have predicted how useful apricot preserves would turn out to be in my everyday cooking. they make so many things much more tasty than they normally would be. 🙂
The porkchop looks heavenly, Pam. Love the soya gravy..
ohhh I love this combo of apricot and soy.
excellent choice ms pam.
just heavenly!
Love the sound of apricot, soy and pork all together. I usually just add honey and garlic with soy but very intrigued by the addition of apricot!
This were so easy, tasted wonderful . . . will be using this recipe again!
This was YUMMY! I surely will make it again!
I am trying this recipe now!!!!
Delicious recipe! My husband LOVED it which is a huge accomplishment in this house 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this wonderful flavorful yet on the easier side. I hate to say that last part “on the easier side” because I’m afraid it will lesson the value of this dish. Some people may think because it’s easier it’s not as special. But it really is a special dish. The flavor is something you’ll be pleased with and proud of. You’ll want to feed all of your friends and family because it tastes that good! Ok I’ve said enough!
Bon appétit
Teresa,
