Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1.5 cups corn kernels
• 1 small red onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons 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 until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 4

While the skillet is still hot, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers and the red onion, then add them to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the corn kernels and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the corn to slightly char.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Add the unsalted butter and lemon juice, stirring until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth.

Step 10

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them amongst the vegetables. Cover the skillet and let everything simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with a side of rice or crusty bread if desired.
