Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Season the pork chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Sear the pork chops: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the zucchini slices and cherry tomatoes, cooking for 5-6 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the tomatoes are slightly softened. Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Combine and finish: Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the vegetables. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve the Zucchini Pork Chop Supper hot.
