• Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
• Add marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning and bay leaf. Stir to combine.
• Return pork chops to skillet and coat with sauce mixture. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until pork chops are fully cooked. Remove and discard bay leaf.

PORK CHOPS ALLA PIZZAIOLA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until they are brown and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted horizontally into the pork registers 160 degrees F, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and tent with foil to keep them warm.
• Add the onion to the same skillet and saute over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, herbes de Provence, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend and the juices thicken slightly, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and more red pepper flakes. Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet and turn the pork chops to coat with the sauce.
• Place 1 pork chop on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

3-INGREDIENT PAN-SIMMERED ITALIAN BONELESS PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium-high heat in large frying pan that has a lid.
• Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
• Sear chops in pan till lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes per side.
• REMOVE frying pan from burner (so you don't burn yourself on next step).
• Slowly pour can of stewed tomatoes over chops. Distribute tomatoes so some are under chops and the balance is evenly covering the tops of the pork chops.
• Cover pan and return to burner. Reduce heat to low and simmer (do not boil) for 2-3 hours, or until chops are fork tender. You can leave the chops on low for even longer, if you prefer - adjust to your schedule.
• Uncover and let simmer for another hour (or longer) until some of the water in the pan evaporates.
• Serve with side of mashed potatoes (the pan juice goes well with them!) or over pasta of your choice with some parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms; cook and stir until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops, browning on both sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Place the pork chops on a plate, then drain all but 1 tablespoon of drippings from the skillet. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the tomatoes, then season with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Transfer the pork chops back to the skillet; cover and simmer until the pork chops are tender and no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. Stir in some water if the mixture becomes too dry. Place the bell pepper on top of the pork, then add the reserved mushrooms. Continue to simmer until the bell pepper is tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
