Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow dish.

Step 2

Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture, coating both sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chops and set them aside.

Step 4

Peel and slice the onion into thin rings. Cut the green bell pepper into thin strips and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the onions and bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, oregano, basil, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the chops simmer for 35 minutes, turning them once halfway through cooking.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the pork chops hot, spooning the sauce and vegetables over the top. Pair with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
