Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until they are brown and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted horizontally into the pork registers 160 degrees F, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and tent with foil to keep them warm.
- Add the onion to the same skillet and saute over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, herbes de Provence, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend and the juices thicken slightly, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and more red pepper flakes. Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet and turn the pork chops to coat with the sauce.
- Place 1 pork chop on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
SAMMI'S ITALIAN PORK CHOPS
Easy, easy, easy (did I mention it's easy?) weeknight meal. The marinade adds a nice, tangy flavor to the pork chops. The sweet and spicy peppers on top add even more flavor. Pepper jack cheese gives the chops a nice kick. Very tasty!

Steps:
- 1. Marinate pork chops in Italian dressing and refrigerate for 1 hour. I used the Italian dressing packet that you mix with water, oil and vinegar. (I think that this is the best tasting dressing.)
- 2. Slice peppers into long thin strips and saute with chopped jalapeno (I left a couple large jalapeno slices to place on top), oil and garlic.
- 3. Cook pork chops in skillet (about 5-6 mins each side) until brown and no longer pink inside.
- 4. Place pork chops on plate and top with the garlic, peppers and jalapeno mix. Add a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of pork chop before placing pepper mix for an added cheesy flavor. Serve with potatoes and veggies!
3-INGREDIENT PAN-SIMMERED ITALIAN BONELESS PORK CHOPS
You will NOT believe how good these pork chops are, after seeing how EASY they are to make. These are so simple, yet worthy of serving to company. I get rave reviews every time I serve them and I'm always asked for the recipe, yet almost embarrased to give it! The trick is to cook slowly with enough heat, but not so much that the chops are boiling to get tough and dry. And the cooking time is very flexible...you can simmer these for up to 6 hours if you'd like. (By the way, I consider the salt and pepper "freebies" in the ingredient count!)

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in large frying pan that has a lid.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Sear chops in pan till lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- REMOVE frying pan from burner (so you don't burn yourself on next step).
- Slowly pour can of stewed tomatoes over chops. Distribute tomatoes so some are under chops and the balance is evenly covering the tops of the pork chops.
- Cover pan and return to burner. Reduce heat to low and simmer (do not boil) for 2-3 hours, or until chops are fork tender. You can leave the chops on low for even longer, if you prefer - adjust to your schedule.
- Uncover and let simmer for another hour (or longer) until some of the water in the pan evaporates.
- Serve with side of mashed potatoes (the pan juice goes well with them!) or over pasta of your choice with some parmesan cheese.
ITALIAN-STYLE PORK CHOPS
An Italian-style version of pork chops was one of the first recipes I tried making in the early years of my marriage. I've changed it over the years to be healthier by reducing added oil and fat, and by adding in some vegetables. It works well served over hot rice. -Traci Hoppes, Spring Valley, California

ITALIAN BREADED PORK CHOPS
My father's side of the family is Sicilian, and has been making these pork chops for at least 3 generations. My husband frequently requests these over my marinated and grilled pork chops when I give him a choice. If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, you may cook the chops on the stove at medium-low.
