Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or navy beans)
• 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the drained and rinsed white beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, honey, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then nestle the seared pork chops back into the skillet, spooning some of the bean mixture over the top.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the dish with lemon juice for a bright finishing touch.

Step 11

Serve hot, making sure to spoon plenty of the beans and sauce over each pork chop. Enjoy!
