Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir frequently.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 6
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through cooking.
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
