Season the pork chops on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion and sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, stir in the smoked paprika and dried oregano.
Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) into the skillet and mix well. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and nestle them into the sauce. Cover with a lid and let the pork chops simmer for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
Uncover the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with crusty bread, rice, or potatoes.
