Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, and toss in the sliced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until softened.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by pouring in the chicken broth, then stir in the balsamic vinegar and honey. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the peppers and onion mixture. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 7

Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes if desired.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using, and serve hot. This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
