Categories     main-dish

Time 37m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork loin center-cut chops (about 12 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, in juice
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

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!

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bottle Italian salad dressing
1 jalapeno pepper
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1/4 c minced garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
6 pork chops, boneless
6 slice pepper jack cheese

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



3-Ingredient Pan-Simmered Italian Boneless Pork Chops image

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!)

ITALIAN-STYLE PORK CHOPS



Italian-Style Pork Chops image

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

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.
