Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil, divided
• 4 Whole pork chops, tenderized
• 0.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Large onion, minced
• 1 Large bell pepper, minced
• 1 15 Ounces (oz) can tomato sauce
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) smoked paprika
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) dried oregano
• 1 Pinch kosher salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) sugar
• 0.5 Cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 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, and brown them in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the minced onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
3. Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and dried oregano, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Pour in the tomato sauce and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the sugar, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste.
5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
6. Remove the lid and let the sauce thicken slightly for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Garnish with freshly minced parsley before serving. Enjoy your savory tomato-braised pork chops with a side of rice or mashed potatoes.
