Gut Friendly Garlic Herb Pan-Seared Pork Chops

These pan-seared pork chops are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels indulgent but works hard for your digestive system at the same time. Bone broth forms the base of the pan sauce, bringing gut-nourishing collagen to every spoonful, while apple cider vinegar adds a gentle tang that supports healthy stomach acid levels. Turmeric and ginger in the spice rub aren't just there for flavor — both have well-documented anti-inflammatory properties that make this dish a smart choice when you're eating with your gut in mind. Coconut oil handles the high-heat sear beautifully, and the smashed garlic, rosemary, and thyme infuse the fat with deep, herby aroma that gets basted right back onto the chops. The result is a golden, crackling crust with a silky, savory pan sauce that tastes like it took far more effort than it actually did. Everything here is straightforward and whole-food based, so there's no guesswork about hidden additives or ingredients that might cause a flare. Serve it simply and let the sauce do the talking.
