  • Author: Dottie
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

These bone-in pork chops are seared and simmered in a zesty green chile sauce, topped with melted Monterey Jack cheese. A flavorful and easy dish that pairs perfectly with rice or mashed potatoes!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork chops.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the drained diced green chiles. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour in chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and lime juice. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
  7. Place the seared pork chops back into the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the pork chops. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  10. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot with the green chile sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Adjust cooking time if using boneless pork chops, as they may cook faster.
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
