Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 medium lemon, juiced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 4 (5 ounce) boneless, center-cut pork chops
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 cup sliced Kalamata olives
• 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place pork chops between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound to flatten to 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides of the chops evenly with Greek seasoning.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Place 2 chops in the hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes. Flip and cook until chops are no longer pink in the center, or to desired degree of doneness, 2 to 4 more minutes. Set aside and keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and repeat to cook remaining 2 chops.

Step 3

Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Add tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are slightly blistered and softened, about 3 minutes. Add olives and lemon juice and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Serve tomato mixture over pork chops and sprinkle each serving with feta cheese and parsley.
