Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 medium (chopped) yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed canned white beans
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the chops and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat to medium and add the canned white beans, chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir well to combine.
Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the beans. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the dish simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops are fully cooked and tender.
Taste the bean mixture and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the pork chops hot with a generous scoop of the beans on the side. Enjoy!
