Yummy Pork Chops

2 T Olive Oil

2 (1 Inch thick) Bone-in Pork Loin center cut chops

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 small Onion, thinly sliced

1 (15 ounce) can Diced Tomatoes, in juice

1 tsp Herbs de Provence

¼ tsp Dried Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

1 T chopped fresh Italian Parsley

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper. Add them to the pan and cook until they are brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the pork registers 160 degrees, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

Add the onion to the pan and sauté over medium heat about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, herbs, and pepper flakes. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season the sauce to taste. Return the chops and any juices from the plate to the pan and turn the chops to coat with the sauce.

Place on a plate, top with sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley!
