Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup roasted red peppers, jarred
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place the pork chops on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

While the pork is marinating, prepare the roasted red pepper Italian dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil to the skillet.

Step 6

Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Drizzle the roasted red pepper Italian dressing over the pork chops, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
