  • Place the pork chops in a zip lock plastic bag

  • Be sure the pork chops are evenly covered
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat
  • Place the pork chops into the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side
  • Remove the pork from the pan and keep aside on a warm plate
  • Add the onions and tomatoes to the same skillet where the pork was browned, adding an additional tablespoon of oil if needed
  • Cook over high heat for about 5-7 minutes or until browned and softened, stirring frequently to avoid burning
  • Add the reserved cooked pork chops and cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the pork is tender and barely pink in the center, about 15 minutes
