Servings: 4 servings
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 55 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

4 center-cut pork chops, 1-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Ground cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, spread on a plate
2 medium green bell peppers, stemmed, cored, and membranes removed, cut into strips
2 yellow onions, trimmed, cut lengthwise
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
2 to 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Trim the excess fat from the chops and season well with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly roll the chops in flour, shake off the excess, and slip them into the pan. Brown well, about 3 minutes per side, and remove them to a plate.

Add the bell peppers and onions, to the skillet, and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about half a minute longer. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add chops to pan and place vegetables on top of pork chops. Pour in the broth and sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce. Cover pan with foil and allow to simmer for 45 minutes or until chops are tender.

I love this recipe! Tasty, quick and easy.

Paula, I have several of your cooksbooks and have been to your restaurant in Savannah and have been printing your recipes off of the internet for years. If you ask anyone that knows me who my hero is and who is the one person in this whole world I would love to meet, they will tell you Paula Deen. You are so real and down to earth. The love shows on your face when you cook. My co-workers call me Paula, because I love to cook and am always trying one of your recipes. I rush to get home from work everyday to watch you. I was afraid that you would become too "Hollywood" when you became so famous, but I'm glad to say that you still seem like the same down home girl I came to idolize when you first started on the Food Network. I to am diabetic and I get so angry when I read all of the crap about you being diabetic and cooking the way you do. Just because you put the recipes out there doesn't mean everyone has to use them. If a grown adult isn't smart enough to know what they should or shouldn't eat then they have more serious problems than eating the wrong foods. I just hope you continue to be the person America has grown to love over the years. My greatest hope is to someday meet you in person.

The recipe was awesome. My mom and I made this, for a large family meal. We browned the chops longer... to make sure they were good and browned. We then baked the chops in a roaster ( we cooked 10 chops). We extended the time to 50 minutes covered at 350, 10 min uncovered 400. The result was amazing. Just a little heat - next time I will increase the cayenne. We had baked russet and sweet potato with veggis on the side. Yum! Damon Fowler.. you have given us a new staple recipe. I thank you!

These chops were so good! I only made two changes and these weren't because of any special preferences but because of what I had available in the house... Instead of using butter I used margarine (I'd used all the butter making your biscuit recipe) and instead of two green peppers I used one green and one red... but again these changes were due to what I had on hand, though I have to say that I think I'll just continue to make them this way since they turned out so well!!! Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes, they make me look like a world class chef smile

Put these in a crock pot and let them cook on high 2 hrs. then on low for 4 hrs. Layed the chops, onions, bell pepper. Then added a package of brown gravy mix. The meat just fell off the bone. We had guest over and he just couldn't get enough. Had to give him the recipe.

Iadd salt & pepper to pork chops,add garlic powder and add chicken seasoning also. brown on one side, turn over to brown on other side and after they have cooked for awhile,I add 4 to 5 cans of cut green beens and liquid from 1 or 2 cans of the beans and discard rest of liquid.cover and let cook until pork chops are completely done and your canned beans will taste like fresh cooked green beans. this has been a favorite meal in our family for years.

I decided to make this recipe for my husband last night. I usually cook very low calorie, low fat meals. But I thought it would be nice to make him something special and men love your cooking. I have to say, he was so impressed he asked me to buy your cook book so I can make him more "manly meals". I just wanted to thank you. And I will be buying your cookbook.
