Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless pork chops
- 1 count yellow bell pepper
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 count red onion
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1 count lemon
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper; sear in 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat 4–5 minutes per side until golden and 145°F inside, then rest on a plate for 3 minutes.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced bell pepper and red onion in 1 tbsp olive oil for 3 minutes, add halved cherry tomatoes and cook 2 minutes more until softened.
- Whisk yogurt with juice of half a lemon and salt until smooth for the sauce.
- Divide pork chops and vegetable medley among four plates, drizzle each with yogurt sauce, top with feta, and serve with lemon wedges.
- Picky eater tip: serve the pork chop plain, with the yogurt sauce and vegetables on the side.
- Make ahead: dice the pepper and onion, halve the tomatoes and mix the yogurt sauce up to 1 day ahead; store each covered in the fridge.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
