Season the pork chops with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper on both sides.
Trim the root ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the Brussels sprouts, season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they are lightly browned and tender. Remove and set aside.
Using the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato sauce. Cover the skillet and let it simmer on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, turning the pork chops halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Add the Brussels sprouts back to the skillet, mixing gently to coat them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes uncovered until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the dish before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of side, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
