Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 30 ounces canned hominy
• 1 cup unsalted chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Rub the spices into the meat to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and dice the yellow onion. Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, then dice it as well.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly translucent.

Step 6

Drain and rinse the canned hominy, then add it to the skillet with the onion and bell pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Pour the unsalted chicken broth into the skillet. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Nestle the seared pork chops on top of the hominy and vegetable mixture.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
