Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Step 4
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, chicken broth, and sugar to the skillet. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Step 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Cover the skillet and simmer for 20-25 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through cooking.
Step 7
Uncover the skillet and let the sauce thicken for an additional 5-7 minutes, if needed.
Step 8
Garnish the dish with chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to complete the meal.
