French Onion Pork Chops

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless pork chops

3 Tbsp olive or avocado oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large white onion

1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

¼ cup coconut cream

¾ cup chicken or vegetable broth

Parsley (for garnish)

 

Ingredients for the seasoning

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/8 teaspoon oregano

1/8 teaspoon thyme

 

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the pork chops with paper towels to dry.

2. Combine all ingredients for seasoning in a small bowl. Cover both sides of the pork chops generously and place in the hot pan. *Don’t move the pork chops in the pan as they are searing. Allow them to brown on each side for about 3 minutes, turning once. When finished, set aside on a plate.

3. While pork chops are cooking, thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

4. After removing the pork chops, add sliced onions to the same skillet. *Do not wash the skillet before adding the onions.

5. Reduce the heat and cook the onions on low for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

6. Add the garlic and vinegar, season with a little salt, and stir. Sauté together for another 2-3 minutes.

7. Stir in the coconut cream and broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Return the pork chops to the skillet.

8. Bring liquid to a simmer and cook everything together over low heat for another 5-6 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through. *Timing will depend on the thickness of your pork chops. Internal temperature once rested should be 145° F.

9. Sprinkle with parsley and serve pork chops with a spoonful of onions and sauce, and your favorite green veggie.

10. Enjoy!

Patient Testimonials

Dr Don Sharnowski is a doctor who is above and beyond all other doctors! Probably his most outstanding quality is that he LISTENS to what his patients say. He is willing to explain things to his patients in terms they can understand. Dr Don treats his patients with wisdom, understanding, gentleness, care, encouragement and he is willing to "go the extra mile" to give his patients the proper treatment they need. He does not treat patients like they were on an assembly line or like he is rushing them out the door. Dr Don has fixed many of the problems I had at my first visit, one of which I had endured for 3 years. Dr Don was able to fix that problem in 2 weeks when others had not. Dr Don has also helped me loose 40 lbs so far. My total recovery is still an ongoing process, but should be a cinch with Dr Don's expert help! Thank you, Dr Don! You are an awesome answer to prayers!

Super Awesome Doctor in Overland Park, Kansas!! He really knows his stuff love his Holistic approach. Wish I lived closer so I could see him on the regular, at least we can chat on the regular! Very informative in all aspects of health! Five years ago this man took our health and turned it around 360 degrees. My son got ear infections very often. Both my boys have respiratory issues. My husband asthma and overweight. Myself aches and pains, specifically on my left side and joints. Well needless to say no more ear infections respiratory not nearly as often my husband is 80lbs less and never uses his inhaler . My sons ear infections...What ear infections...They are no longer! Thanks Dr. Don for all you do and have done!!

Dr Don Sharnowski is truly an amazing Doctor. He listens to his patients and treats in a very complete way. He is very knowledgeable because he never stops learning. He is a great communicator and will help you learn better ways to be healthy if you will actually do what he teaches.

Don (Dr Sharnowski) is truly one of a kind. He is warm, inviting and incredibly generous with his time, but also really knowledgeable about the body and everything within. You won't find crystal balls here. You'll find a super nice guy in sneakers who also sells farm fresh eggs at the counter. I went in expecting to get adjusted (and was scared, because I'd never seen a chiro before). Instead, what I experienced was someone who actually sat down and listened to my history, connected the dots between several ailments (instead of jumping to prescribe one drug apiece to treat each one), and explained things that no one had ever taken the time to do. I was there about my back specifically, but we talked about my whole health. Instead of just prescribing an anti inflammatory (which is what my other doc did), he explained why we get inflammation in our bodies, and how to help reduce it with what we eat. I've also been on thyroid medication for over 10 years, and he actually explained what the thyroid is, and what the drug I take is, and what it does. But not in a defensive or overly crunchy way. He just openly explained in a way that I could understand it. I highly recommend Don to anyone with a body who wants to feel better. His approach is approachably holistic. Just common sense, whole body-centered treatment.
