One-Pan Mediterranean Pork Chops Recipe With Feta & Parmesan Pork Mediterranean Diet Recipes Dinner

Mediterranean flavors are welcome at any meal in my house. With lemon, garlic, oregano, basil and other fresh flavors, how can you go wrong? This easy Mediterranean skillet pork chops recipe has all those flavors plus creamy feta cheese and Parmesan. This is a quick, flavorful dinner any day of the week.

The pork recipe has a short list of ingredients: boneless pork chops, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, a lemon, Tuscan seasoning or dried oregano, and fresh garlic cloves. The pork chops are marinated for a couple hours or overnight. Marinate the pork as long as you can for maximum taste and flavor. The pork chops are quickly cooked in a skillet until seared and cooked through, then topped with feta and Parmesan. Let the two cheeses melt and the chops are ready to be plated.

You could use bone-in pork chops for this recipe, but be sure to cook a little longer. If you don't like feta cheese, just use Parmesan. Serve these lemony, garlicy pork chops with a fresh vegetable and a salad, or your favorite side dishes.
