Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cups white rice, cooked (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then season both sides evenly with the Creole seasoning.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and (optional) hot sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, then return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.

Step 7

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the pork chops in the sauce for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the dish before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Creole Chops hot over a bed of cooked white rice.
