- olive oil
- 2 medium sized potatoes
- salt and pepper totaste
- 1/2 large onion – chopped
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
- 2 appx. 6-8 oz boneless pork chops – with the bone in works just get them a little bigger
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions for your Quick Pork Chop Dinner
Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator and let them warm up a little while you start on your potatoes and veggies.
Put the first skillet on at medium high and eyeball about three tablespoons of olive oil. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise then slice into about 1/4″ slices. Put them in the pan and salt and pepper them. Toss them a few times as they cook.
While the potatoes are at it chop up 1/2 of a large onion. When the potatoes have started to get crispy put in the onions and mix it all together.
Put the second skillet on at medium high and eyeball just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Trim the excess fat off the chops. Salt and pepper them. Now, beyond the salt and pepper is when you can let your creative juices flow and spice things up to suit yourself. After all, you are the boss. Tonight I went with red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic powder and dried basil. But you do it how YOU want.
Put the chops in the skillet.
Toss the onions and potatoes occasionally. Cook the chops about 3 minutes a side depending on the thickness.
When you turn over the chops to cook the second side add the peas to the potato skillet and toss. Toss the veggies together a couple of times as the chops finish cooking. When the chops are firm to a poke or reach 160-170°F on an instant read meat thermometer they are done. When the peas are warm to the touch the veggies are done.
Serve up your Quick Easy Spicy Pork Chops meal. Bon Appetit!
