Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Cola
- 0.25 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops to the pan and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the cola into the skillet. Stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the ketchup, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, making sure they are coated in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chops cook for 15-20 minutes, turning them over halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F or 63°C), remove them from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Optionally, simmer the sauce uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to thicken it further. Spoon the sauce over the rested pork chops before serving.
Serve the Cola Chops hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
