Dinner in under 30 minutes never looked so good as these Skillet Southwest Pork Chops! The whole family will be full and happy afterwards!
I’m a meal planner, so I typically know what’s going to be for dinner before the kids even get hungry and ask. That being said, I’m always very low on steam by the 5:00 hour and wondering if I even want to make put in the effort to feed our bellies. By that time, I’ve done school drop offs and pickups, exercised, done housework, gone to appointments, helped kids with homework, and the list could go on and on. Thinking about putting together a meal after a long day can be daunting (do you know the feeling?).
But it doesn’t have to be, thanks to 30 minute (or less) skillet dishes like today’s Southwest Pork Chops!
Be sure not to miss out on this great Ibotta offer that helps make this meal even more easy on the wallet!
This is one of those dinners where you’ll be so glad you didn’t grab takeout. I’d call it a one-pot meal, but if you’re going to cook rice to put it over (which I would highly recommend), that may count as two. 🙂
It’s loaded with the wonderful flavors of the southwest and ingredients that will satisfy and bring smiles! Being from the southwest, more often than not, my cooking includes green chiles and beans. I can’t help myself! They’re so yummy! And I’ve got to stay true to my home state. 🙂
Something that I like to do while I’m out at Walmart is to grab fresh meat, like these Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops for a simple meal option. Then the rest is really easy, because I have the dinner staple. I just have to figure out how I want to prepare it.
I love that at Smithfield®, they supply naturally tender and juicy fresh pork everyone can enjoy with no artificial ingredients, no preservatives, and no added steroids or hormones. Plus, Smithfield Fresh Pork is already hand-selected based on coloring and marbling. You can really taste the quality and difference.
It’s so easy to prepare, too, as you’ll see with today’s recipe. The Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops are nice and thin, so they cook through in a snap! Which means from stovetop to table, it will take less than 30 minutes!
I love that these Skillet Pork Chops are fancy enough for a weekend dinner with company or simple enough for a weeknight meal solution for the family.
And if you’re like me and try to stretch those leftovers as far as you can, these pork chops in a little sauce plus some rice, cheese, and a tortilla would make a great burrito for lunch the next day!

Skillet Southwest Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 pkg. 1 lb. Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops
- 1 can 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes (drained)
- 1/2 can 4 oz. tomato sauce
- 1 c. chicken broth
- 1/4 c. diced green chiles
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 1/2 tsp. oregano
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- 1 can 15 oz. black beans
- 1/8 tsp. salt or to taste
- dash of black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over the stovetop until hot. Add olive oil, garlic and onions and saute until onions are soft. Salt and pepper Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops on both sides and sear on both sides for about 1 minute.
- Add diced tomatoes (drained), tomato sauce, chicken broth, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, oregano, paprika, black beans, salt and pepper and gently stir the sauce over and around the pork chops to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium and allow it to simmer until the pork chops are completely cooked through. Mine only took about 5 minutes since they were so thin and already mostly cooked through from searing. If you want to be sure not to overcook the pork chops, use a meat thermometer.
- Serve over white rice. We gave our pork chops a nice sprinkling of season salt after serving them up for added flavor, since the sauce tends to remove much of the seasoning from the chops.
I hope you enjoy this easy meal like our family did!
