Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 15-ounce cans, drained and rinsed canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or navy beans)
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
In a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the drained and rinsed white beans, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, honey, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then nestle the seared pork chops back into the skillet, spooning some of the bean mixture over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the dish with lemon juice for a bright finishing touch.
Serve hot, making sure to spoon plenty of the beans and sauce over each pork chop. Enjoy!
