This apricot ginger chutney was served for dinner last night at our house served with only a simple salad on the side. The apricot ginger chutney can be made in advance and just warmed as you pan sear the pork chops.
Even without the advance preparation, this is a tasty meal ready in about 40 minutes. The chutney is sufficient to serve with 6 to 8 pork chops.
This recipe is equally good with chicken. Pound some chicken breasts flat with a mallet and fry the filets quickly to enjoy with this flavourful chutney.
