How to Make 20 Minute Tomato Basil Pork Chops
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of 4 (1-inch thick) pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Brown the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup, ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon dried basil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional). Bring to a simmer.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine before serving.
- Serve the pork chops over your favorite noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional).
