Paprika Pork Chop with Bacon, Zucchini & Tomato SautéPaprika Pork Chop with Bacon, Zucchini & Tomato Sauté — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 9 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

12 slices bacon

3 cloves garlic

3 small pkgs grape tomatoes

6 pork chops, boneless

6 medium zucchini squash

black pepper

paprika

salt

thyme, dried

Instructions

Medium dice bacon.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 4-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove crispy bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

While the bacon is cooking, pat pork chops dry with paper towels and place on another plate; season with spices on both sides.

When the bacon is done, return skillet (with drippings) to medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add chops and pan-fry until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a clean plate, loosely cover with aluminum foil, and set aside.

Meanwhile, wash and dry zucchini. Using a clean cutting board, trim and halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ¼-inch thick half-moons; place in a medium bowl.

Wash and dry tomatoes.

Peel and mince garlic.

Return skillet (with cooking juices) to medium-high heat; add zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, and spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender and tomatoes start to burst, 7-8 minutes.

When the veggies are done, add water and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened, 3-4 minutes more. Remove from heat.

To serve, divide chops, veggies, and sauce between plates; sprinkle with crispy bacon and enjoy!
