Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil.
-
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork chops, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides.
-
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the diced tomatoes, green chilies, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
-
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato and chili mixture.
-
Cover the skillet with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through.
-
Once the pork chops are done, sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese and return the skillet to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
