Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and chicken broth into the skillet. Stir well.
Add dried oregano, dried basil, and sugar to the tomato mixture. Stir to combine.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cover the skillet and let the pork chops simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
