Cheesy Pork Chop Skillet

Golden, seasoned pork chops with a medley of tender vegetables smothered in melty cheese.

You can use bone-in or boneless pork chops however boneless is preferable so you're not looking for the bone through the veggies and cheese when you dig in to eat.

Ingredients:

2 pork chops 1/2-3/4" thick

2 tsps olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp celery seed

1/4 tsp savory

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots

1 celery stalk, cut in 1" pieces

3 or 4 mushrooms, sliced thick

1/2 cup diced onion

1/4 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup (or more) shredded cheese (gruyère, mozzarella, etc)

Preheat the oven to 375°F

Brush the pork with olive oil. Combine the garlic powder, thyme, smoked paprika, celery seed, savory, salt and pepper and sprinkle on both sides of the meat. Heat a 9" cast iron skillet with a drizzle of olive oil to medium high. Brown pork chops on each side for 2 minutes. Then scatter the carrots, celery, mushrooms and onion in the pan and pour the broth in at the side. Top with cheese and cover with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and return the pan to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes. The internal temperature of the pork should be 145°F.
