Pork Chops w/ Apples, baked Sweet Potatoes, and lemon scented brocoli

Last night was one of my family's favorite dinners. It works just as well if you substitute chicken breasts for the pork loin chops.

Pork Loin Chops w/ Apples

4 Thick cut Pork Loin Chops
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 ts. Cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup Progresso It. Bread Crumbs
4 apples
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tb butter
1/8 cup apple juice

Pre-heat oven to 350. In a shallow dish mix the olive oil, 1 tsp cinnamon, and the salt and pepper. Dredge the chops in the oil mixture and then dip in the bread crumbs. Place the chops on a pan that has been lightly sprayed w/ pam. Bake for 45 minutes flipping once during cooking.

Meanwhile slice up the apple into wedges put in a saute pan over med low heat with the butter 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp of sugar, 1/2 tb of butter, and the 1/8 cup of apple juice, and cook until tender.

Serve the chops with the apples on top of them.

Bake sweet potatoes in the oven with the chops just scrub them clean and put them in the oven at the same time as the chops. They will be baked to perfection. I serve them with a small dish of cinnamon sugar which my kids love.

Lemon Scented Brocoli
Take two crowns of Brocoli and chop them into florets. Put them in a pan with 1/8" of water and cover. Simmer until tender and squeeze 1/4 of a lemon over it before serving.

Enjoy!
