Savory Swiss Chard With Pork Chops and Potatoes image

A favorite ... This came from a little cook book a girlfriend sent me for a Christmas present one year. Now I added my twist, but basically, this was the recipe. A one dish wonder. Now I love swiss chard and kale and I think they are way under used, so I absolutely love this dish. Now the original dish didn't have potatoes, but I love to add some sliced new potatoes to this dish and it makes it a complete dish. Add some fresh homemade or a good bakery loaf of pumpernickel and roasted peaches over vanilla ice cream for desert.

Time 40m

Yield 4-8 Dishes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 pork chops (bone in, about 1-inch thick, 1/2 lb each)
1 1/2 lbs red swiss chard (stems removed and chopped in 1-inch pieces)
1 medium onion (cut in half and thin sliced)
12 small new potatoes, thin sliced with the skins on
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
3/4 cup fontina, grated
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Casserole -- First remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Brush well with 1 tablespoon olive oil and then season well with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides.
  • Next, spray the casserole dish with a non stick spray and add the swiss chard and top with the sliced onions. Add some salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil (1 tablespoon). Lightly toss. Then top with the chicken broth and the 4 pork chops.
  • NOTE: If you want you could pan sear the pork chops first if you want as one reviewer mentioned, but I don't. But if would give a nice color to the chops if you prefer.
  • Cheese -- Sprinkle the cheeses on top of the swiss chard and onions, around the pork chops.
  • Potatoes -- In a small bowl add the potatoes, remaining olive oil, salt, pepper and dried thyme and then add them on top of the swiss chard and cheese around the pork chops.
  • Bake -- 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the chops are done.
  • Garnish -- I love to put a good balsamic vinegar on the table so each person can just drizzle a little on if they want. For me the flavor is amazing.
  • Just Enjoy!

The potatoes were a bit bland. I think I'll add some garlic and herbs next time.

I'm not a big fan of Swiss chard, but this recipe changed my mind. It was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor.

This recipe was a lifesaver on a busy weeknight. It was quick and easy to make, and my family loved it.

Delicious and easy to make! I used chicken thighs instead of pork chops and it was still delicious.

Pork chops were a bit dry, but otherwise very good.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The Swiss chard added a nice pop of color and flavor to the dish. Will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a hit with my family! The pork chops were juicy and flavorful, the Swiss chard was tender and slightly bitter, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making this again!
