Cider-Glazed Pork Chops

• 1 cup apple juice, divided
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 (6-ounce) bone-in center-cut loin pork chops (about 3/4 inch thick)
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
• 1/2 cup sliced shallots
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1. Combine 1/2 cup apple juice and next 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator at least 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Remove pork from bag, and discard marinade. Sprinkle chops with pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops to pan; cook 10 minutes on each side or until done. Place chops on a platter, and cover loosely with foil. Pour off excess fat from pan.
3. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to pan; heat over medium heat. Add shallots; saute 3 minutes or until tender. Add remaining 1/2 cup apple juice and cider vinegar, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; cook 4 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Serve pork chops with sauce. Sprinkle chops evenly with parsley.
