Best Skillet Pork Chops

Peach Pork Chops are a summer must-try dish. It is a super easy dinner to make, and you only need one pan. Also, this delicious and colorful meal is ready in just 30 minutes.

You can use bone-in pork chops, or as I did, center-cut pork chops. I am a huge fan of sweet and savory recipes, and this one is perfect for those quick summer meals. These pork chops are pan-seared and cooked with olive oil and fresh peaches to create the perfect sweet and savory combo.

Use an oven-safe pan, so you can make this meal using only one pan. The juicy pork is perfect alongside sweet and caramelized peaches with a dash of fresh lemon zest and spicy red pepper flakes.

I can eat these Peach Pork Chops all summer long for dinner and not complain. However, if you are looking for a slow cooker version, try this Thai pork with peanut sauce.

How to make Peach Pork Chops?

This is a quick and simple recipe to make at home. The general steps are as follows:

Brown the pork chops: Over medium-high heat, in a cast iron pan, add some olive oil. Then, add the chops, season with salt and pepper, and brown them on each side for 4-6 minutes. You want to get them nicely browned but not fully cooked. Once browned, remove them from the pan, and set aside on a plate and tent with foil.
Sear the peaches: Lower heat to medium-low and add some butter. Then, add the peaches, lemon zest, sugar, salt, and dried chili flakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, while gently stirring until the peaches begin to soften but don’t lose their shape.
Bake: Lastly, add the chops back to the pan, and bake for an additional 10 minutes. The meat internal temperature should be 145 degrees F. Serve immediately.

How to store them?

If you have leftover or want to make this dish in advance, you can easily do so. Simply, let the dish completely cool prior to refrigerating. Then, transfer it to an airtight dish, and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat prior to serving.

Also, you can freeze it. Just use a freezer-safe dish, and freeze them for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips:

I like using a cast-iron skillet for this recipe.
Also, make sure you heat your cast iron, it needs to be hot when you add the oil.
Sear the pork chops for 5 minutes on each side.
In addition, if you use bone-in pork chops, sear for 5 minutes on 1 side and 3 minutes on the other. Because they are usually thinner, they will cook faster.
For the peaches not to break and become mushy, look for peaches that are not very soft. You want them ripe, but not overly soft.
You can skip the red pepper flakes or add more, depends how spicy you want the dish to be.
Also, the lemon can be replaced with an orange or lime.
Vinegar can be added as well during the cooking. If a fan, just adds some.
