Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into 1/2-inch cubes. Dice the green and red bell peppers, and chop the onion.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the parsley for garnish. Set all prepped ingredients aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops on both sides with a mix of salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the diced potatoes. Stir frequently to ensure even browning, cooking for about 8-10 minutes.
Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sprinkle with thyme and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet. Stir to combine, then place the seared pork chops back into the skillet on top of the vegetables.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the liquid hasn't evaporated and the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F).
Once the pork chops are cooked, remove the lid and let the mixture simmer uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your Pork Chops O'Brien!
