Skillet Tuscan Pork Chops: An easy, one-pot dinner that features thinly sliced pork loin, kale, white beans, and tomatoes. A trip to Tuscany in a skillet. Whenever I hear the words pork chops, I immediately start singing to myself , “Pork Chop, pork chop, easy, greasy, we are going to beat you up easy, peasy.”

That is thanks to my husband, who apparently heard it at his school growing up at every football game. He sings it ALL THE TIME! And now I can’t help but think of it ALL THE TIME myself.

But when I truly think of pork, or pork chops,  I don’t think greasy but I do think easy along with healthy, lean, and inexpensive.

I can typically buy a quality pork loin for less than $2 a pound! The best part is that I have my butcher cut it into a 2 roasts, to make pulled pork or pork carnitas, and several thin pork cutlets–which are essentially boneless pork chops. And my butcher does the work for me for FREE!!

Thin pork cutlets cook up in no time and a great change up for chicken. And just like chicken, pork chops or cutlets are a blank canvas to absorb any flavor profile you throw at it.

Today, I decided to make my pork with a bit of Tuscan flare and create a one pot skillet dinner.

Skillet Tuscan Pork Chops

Pork is seared quickly and then quickly braised with white wine, fresh tomatoes, kale, white beans, garlic and capers for a flavorful dinner that comes together in about 20 minutes.

It is really just a few ingredients that marry perfectly together to create a savory, skillet dinner that is packed with protein, fiber and flare.

Skillet Tuscan Pork Cutlets is the perfect meal to whip up and enjoy with a glass of wine during a busy weeknight but yet is classy enough to serve to dinner guests.

Notes on One Pot Skillet Pork Chops Recipe:

• If you do not like pork, use chicken cutlets
• If you have another hearty green (like mustard greens) use that instead of kale.
• If you do not have white wine on hand, use chicken stock in this Pork Chop Dinner.
