4 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork loin chops
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14 ounce) can sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chicken broth

Heat oil in a large skillet; brown chops on both sides. Add onion and garlic.

Combine sauerkraut, broth, caraway seeds and paprika; spoon over chops. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chop reads 160 degrees F.

Remove pork and keep warm.
