Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray the pan with a bit of oil. Trim the pork chops of any visible fat. Sprinkle the pork chops with chipotle pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
Cook the pork chops in the hot skillet, turning occasionally to achieve even browning. Meanwhile, coarsely chop the apple (with peel on – it’s healthy!) and the onion.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and cover them with foil to keep warm.
Add the apple and onion to the hot skillet and sauté until tender, deglazing the pan with chicken broth as needed. Season with chipotle powder, garlic, and a splash of balsamic vinegar (if you want!). Serve the apple sauté over the pork chops and enjoy!
