Ingredients
  

For the Pork Chops:

  • 8 boneless pork chops about ½-inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

For the Vegetables:

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 yellow onions
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • pinch black pepper

Instructions
 

  • First, prepare the vegetables. Wash the zucchini, slice it in half lengthwise, and then chop it into half-moon shapes. Core and seed the bell peppers and thinly slice them and the onions into strips.
  • Pat the pork chops dry and season them evenly on all sides with 1 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, chopped rosemary, and garlic powder.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the pork chops in the pan.
  • Sear the pork chops for 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Add all the prepared vegetables (zucchini, onions, peppers) to the same skillet with the remaining oil and pork drippings.
  • Immediately season the vegetables with 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of pepper. Stir everything together well.
  • Cook the vegetables over high heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, turn off the heat. Return the cooked pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!
