Ingredients

  • 4 6-oz/170g boneless pork chops
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup olive oil divided
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1-2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives pitted and halved
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes halved
  • 3 oz 85g Feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Remove pork chops from refrigerator and pat dry with a paper towel. Lightly season both sides of each chop with the garlic powder, plus salt and black pepper, as desired. Set aside.
  • Whisk together two tablespoons olive oil with the fresh lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and thyme in a large bowl. Add the Kalamata olives, tomatoes, and Feta cheese and toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Add one tablespoon olive oil to a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté, for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and starts to develop some color.
  • Add the remaining olive oil and the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Cooking until the chops are golden brown on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Note: The safe cooking temperature for pork is 145°F/63°C. An instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the chops should read approximately 135°F/57°C at this point.
  • Pour the seasoned tomato and Feta mixture into the skillet and nestle it in amongst the chops. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the tomatoes and olives are warmed through and the Feta starts to melt.
  • Remove skillet from heat and rest for 5 minutes. Remove cover and serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley, if desired, and your choice of sides. Enjoy!
