How to Make Seared Pork Chops With Fresh Basil And Sun Dried Tomatoes

  1. Trim excess fat from 4 (6-ounce) pork chops.
  2. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
  4. Add ½ cup chicken broth, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then cover the skillet and transfer to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and stir in ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained).
  7. Add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil and cook for 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are heated through and the pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil and remove from heat.
  9. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra fresh basil if desired. Spoon the pan sauce over the pork chops.
