One-Pan Pork Chops Recipe with Peppers, Olives and Capers
Sometimes the most delicious meals require the least amount of work. One-Pan Pork Chops Recipe cooked in the oven is great for this very purpose.
Equipment
- iron pan
Ingredients
Ingredents
- 8 oz yellow bell pepper
- 9 oz tomatoes on the vine
- 2 pork chops
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
- 2 oz Kalamata olives
- 1 oz capers
- 2 ciabatta rolls
- 1/4 oz fresh basil
- olive oil
- coarse kosher salt
- freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Recipe Steps:
- Prep vegetables: Preheat broiler with a rack in the top position. Slice bell pepper crosswise into ¼-inch thick rings, discarding seeds and core. Cut tomatoes lengthwise into 1-inch wedges. Pat pork chops dry and trim any excess fat to ¼-inch thickness.
- Prepare to broil: On a rimmed baking sheet, toss bell pepper and tomatoes with crushed red pepper and 2 tablespoons oil, crushing tomatoes slightly to release some of their juices. Arrange in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Rub pork chops all over with 2 teaspoons oil, season with salt and pepper, and place between the vegetables.
- Broil pork & vegetables: Broil pork chops and vegetables, about 3 minutes. Flip pork chops and scatter olives and capers evenly over vegetables. Return sheet to oven and continue to broil until chops are browned in spots and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chops registers 138°F, 3–5 minutes more (watch closely).
- Heat ciabatta rolls: Meanwhile, place ciabatta rolls in the oven directly on the rack below the baking sheet. Bake until bread is heated through and lightly toasted, about 4 minutes.
- Prep basil: Pick basil leaves from stems.
- Finish & serve: Scatter basil leaves over pork and vegetables and serve with warm ciabatta. Enjoy!
