Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

4 cups Red potatoes (small, quartered)
1/4 cup Olive oil (divided)
Sea salt and pepper to taste
1 lb Pork chops (boneless, thin-cut)
1 Yellow onion (large, diced)
4 cups Baby Bella sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup Capers (chopped)
1/2 cup Chicken broth (low-sodium)
1/4 cup Parsley (fresh, chopped)

Method

Preheat the oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Toss with half of the oil, salt, and pepper. Spread into an even layer and cook in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.
Meanwhile, season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for three to four minutes, turning once, until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook for two minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and capers. Cook, stirring occasionally, for three to five minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown.
Add the broth to the pan and cook until the liquid has fully reduced. Stir in the parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
Divide the roasted potatoes evenly between plates. Add the mushroom and onion mixture, then top with sliced pork chops. Enjoy!
