Sweet and sour boneless pork chops are an easy week night meal that can be made in under 30 minutes.
All that is required is to sear marinated boneless pork chops on both sides. Then in the same pan, dump in the ingredients for the sauce, and return the seared pork chops to the sauce. Simmer for approximately 5-10 minutes (depending on how thick your chops are) until chops are cooked through, garnish with chopped green onions, and dinner is ready!
(PS: There's no fried batter here, so don't expect this dish to be like the sweet and sour pork at Panda Express.)
