This simple one-pan Ranch Pork Chops & Brussels Sprouts recipe takes only 30 minutes! All you need are a few basic ingredients and a skillet!
With school about to begin, I thought it was about time to get to work on a few new quick dinner recipes. For us, the start of school also means the start of week night sports practices. This year, both my boys are playing soccer and we will have to travel an hour to practice twice a week. Just one of the many joys of living in the middle of nowhere!
Just because we’re busy and short on time doesn’t mean I give in to fast food or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner. I take part of that back – we do enjoy a PBJ sandwich for dinner here and there, but not every night.
I work really hard to make sure my family eats good. My two boys are super active and am trying to instill the importance of eating well and family time in them every chance that I get!
This recipe for Ranch Pork Chops and Brussels Sprouts is a perfect dinner for busy weeknights. It takes right around 30 minutes, only uses one pan, and is really flavorful without a lot of fuss. All you need are a few pantry items, Brussels sprouts, and Smithfield All Natural Boneless Pork Chops, which you can find at Walmart, of course! Smithfield is guaranteed tender so these pork chops are perfect for this recipe!
Ranch Pork Chops & Brussels Sprouts
Prep!
Halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts and trim the pork, if desired.
Create!
Add 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Brussels sprouts and season with salt and pepper. If you want some extra ranch flavor on the Brussels sprouts, add 1 teaspoon and mix well. Cook the Brussels sprouts until they just start to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate or bowl.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Season one side of the pork with half of the remaining ranch seasoning. Place the pork in the hot skillet, seasoned side down. Season the top side with the remaining ranch seasoning.
Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through. The internal temperature of pork should reach 145°F.
Mix the Brussels sprouts back in and stir to warm for a minute or two.
Present!
To plate, divide the pork and Brussels sprouts between 4 plates. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Enjoy!
