Ingredients:
– 4 boneless pork chops
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 teaspoons chili powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 can diced tomatoes
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning your pork chops with chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Make sure to coat the pork chops evenly on both sides for maximum flavor.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Let the pork chops simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
4. Once the pork chops are cooked, add the black beans and corn to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors, and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the beans and corn to heat through.
5. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed with additional salt and pepper.
6. To serve, plate the pork chops and ladle the chili mixture over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a pop of freshness and color.
7. These Chili Pork Chops are best enjoyed warm, with a side of fluffy rice or warm cornbread to soak up all the delicious sauce. Whether you’re cooking for a weeknight dinner or hosting a gathering, this recipe is sure to impress with its bold flavors and comforting appeal.
