What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 5 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 1/2-inch thick) boneless loin pork chops (about 6 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup crumbles feta cheese
- 1/3 cup pitted kalamata or ripe black olives, chopped
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, and set aside. Combine flour, salt, and black pepper in a large resealable plastic freezer bag. Add pork chops; seal and shake to coat.
-
Melt butter in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat (see Note). Add chops; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Spoon reserved bell pepper mixture evenly over chops.
-
Bake in skillet, covered, 5 minutes or until done. Sprinkle with cheese and olives.
Notes
-
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, wrap the handle of a large nonstick skillet with heavy-duty aluminum foil. This should make your regular skillet safe for a quick stint in the oven.
