    Pork Chops make a healthy, lean, and inexpensive meal.

    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.

    This recipe for Skillet Pork Chops is made with Tuscan flavors for a delicious, one-pot skillet dinner.

    Pork chops are 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.

    This savory, skillet pork dinner is packed with protein, fiber, and flare.

    How to Make Skillet Pork Chops

    Step One: Sear Meat

    • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
    • Season pork on both sides with salt and pepper.
    • Once the oil is heated, sear pork on each side for 1-2 minutes per side.
    • Remove pork chops and place them on a plate.

    Step Two: Deglaze Skillet

    • Add in white wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
    • Add in garlic, capers, and red pepper flakes if using.
    • Saute for 2 minutes.

    Step Three: Cook Through

    • Add in the kale, tomatoes, beans, and seared pork.
    • Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes or until pork is cooked through.
    • Serve with Parmesan Cheese if desired.

    Ingredients

    • 6 (½ inch each) slice boneless pork chops or porkloin cutlets
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
    • ½ cup white wine
    • 1 teaspoon freshly chopped garlic
    • 1 teaspoon capers drained

    Instructions

    • Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in large skillet. Season pork on both sides with salt and pepper.
    • Once oil is heated, sear pork on each side for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove pork to a plate.
    • Add in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan.
    • Add in garlic, capers, and red pepper flakes if using. Saute for 2 minutes. Add in kale, tomatoes, beans, and the seared pork.
    • Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 10 minutes or until pork is cooked through.
    • Serve with Parmesan Cheese if desired.

    Notes

    • Feel free to use spinach in place of kale. Just wait to add spinach until the last 3 minutes of simmering. Or use another hearty green (like mustard greens) instead of kale.
    • For a dry white wine, use chardonnay or pinot grigio.
    • To omit the wine, use additional chicken stock. 
    • If you do not like pork, use chicken cutlets in place of pork loin chops.

      Hi there! Fellow CF-eater here, I found your site through your guest post on Inhaling Hope's blog. 🙂 I made this meal on Monday night, and it was seriously AMAZING. I left out the beans because I'm not a huge fan, and instead paired the dish with a thick slice of artisan bread with goat cheese to make sure dinner was still "filling" enough without the beans, and I loved every last bite. Next time I'll try it with the beans to compare. This is definitely going on the rotation list for company. Thanks so much for sharing!

      good idea to work with your butcher to get those different cuts. I'm always a fan of Tuscan flavors, too!

          My husband and I enjoyed this! I used about double the garlic (we like our garlic!), added 1.5 teaspoons of italian seasoning, and garnished with fresh parsley. Yum!
