Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil, divided
• 4 Whole pork chops, divided
• 0.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Large onion, minced
• 1 Large bell pepper, minced
• 15 Ounces (oz) can tomato sauce
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) smoked paprika
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) dried oregano
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Pinch kosher salt, to taste
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Pinch freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 0.5 Cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh parsley, minced

Steps

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off excess. Sear the pork chops in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the minced onion and bell pepper until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Pour in the tomato sauce, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer for 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and tender.
6. Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley.
7. Serve the pork chops hot, with the sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy with your choice of side dish, such as rice or mashed potatoes.
