Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and smoked paprika, and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth, then add the drained and rinsed cannellini beans. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the bean mixture.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).

Step 9

Taste the bean mixture and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Step 11

Serve the pork chops hot, spooning the beans and sauce over the top. Enjoy!
