Tips for a Perfect 30-Minute Italian Pork Chop Dinner

- Use thin-cut pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick, so they cook quickly and evenly. - Season the pork chops liberally with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika. - Dredge the pork chops in flour before searing them. This will help to create a golden-brown crust. - Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are browned. - Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside. - Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened. - Add the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. - Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. - Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through. - Serve the pork chops with pasta, rice, or vegetables.
