instructions
    1

    Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

    2

    While the oil is heating, season 1 pound of pork chops with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper on both sides.

    3

    Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned pork chops and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (65°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.

    4

    In the same skillet, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

    5

    Add 1 tablespoon each of rosemary and sage, stirring for an additional 1 minute to release their aromas.

    6

    Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes.

    7

    Add 3 cups of fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted, which should take about 2 minutes.

    8

    Finally, return the pork chops to the skillet and allow them to heat through for an additional 2 minutes.

    9

    Serve hot, garnished with additional herbs if desired.

How to be creative
  • Replace pork with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice before serving for a fresh zing.
  • Include other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition.
Important Tips
  • Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the pork, this helps to sear the meat.
  • Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain moisture.
  • Feel free to adjust the herbs according to your preference; thyme and oregano work well too.
