Cooking Steps
Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion (all for 4 servings).
Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, thyme, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on middle rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
While potatoes roast, pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. Turn off heat; remove from pan and set aside.
While pork cooks, toss green beans on a second baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium heat. Add sliced onion; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Stir in vinegar; simmer until slightly reduced, 30-60 seconds. Add jam and ⅓ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Cook until thickened, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and up to ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4) to taste. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Return pork to pan; turn to coat in sauce.
Divide pork, potatoes, and green beans between plates. Top pork with any remaining sauce and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This meal was all about the juicy pork chops. The cherry balsamic crust was terrific to seal in the juices while giving them a heavenly taste to die for! The hearty thyme roasted potatoes gave this meal a very filling component to it, so as to fill up even the biggest glutton. Add to the meal the tangy green beans & it was a meal fit for a king. What more needs to be said about this delightful meal? A tremendous meal from start to finish.
Made this for the first time last night. The potatoes with the thyme were so savory. I love the fresh green beans. The pork chops were great quality, and the cherry balsamic sauce came together great. Sweet and savory in the perfect way.
Delicious chops with cherry balsamic glaze. Just the right amount of sweet and salty to tease the taste buds. Roasted potatoes and green beans were very good and easy to prepare.
I am rarely a fan of pan-fried pork chops-they get too dry. That happened. The cherry balsamic sauce was delicious, but no match for the dry pork. The potato wedges were delicious and the green beans were perfect! I would not order this again because of the dry pork. It was not the pork-it's our fear of undercooking it. The cuts of meat are always excellent.
Nice quality on the pork chop in my delivery. The cherry balsamic sauce was really good, enjoyed it drizzled on the green beans as well. Would definitely make again... quick and easy but also very tasty.
If I could give this more stars I would. This was delicious. The pork was tender, the cherry balsamic gravy was finger licking good, potatoes wedges were good and so were the green beans. Definitely want this again! We have happy tummies tonight.
The cherry balsamic sauce is very good, a tasty blend of sweet and savory. The potatoes and green beans make simple sides, but round out the meal well.
Honestly, I'm rarely a huge fan of pork, but this was delicious. The cherry balsamic flavor was amazing. The green beans and potatoes were great too.
These were the MOST delicious pork chops I've ever had in my life. No joke! I do not even like pork chops that much and was honestly nervous ordering them but they were perfect! Super easy to cook. The cherry balsamic sauce was amazing. I loved the potatoes and the roasted green beans were so good too! My first time roasting green beans and not my last!
Cherry balsamic pork chops flavor was amazing. Normally I don't like Cherry anything... the balsamic part is a game changer... makes the flavor just right. Loved the potatoes and roasting the beans in the oven.
