Pork Chops & Grits

What You'll Need:
Pork Chops (whatever kind you fancy)
Flour
Tony's Seasoning
3 Stalks of Celery
1 Onion
1/2 Green Bell Pepper
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes
2 Can of Chicken Broth
1 Cup of Milk
1/2 Cup of Grits (not the instant kind)




The first thing you'll need to do is mix some flour and Tony's Seasoning in a pan (I really didn't measure it out, just eyeball the flour and a few dashes of Tony's). You'll take your pork chops and lightly dust them with your flower and Tony's mixture and just set them on a plate.




Next, cover your skillet in olive oil and cook your pork chops. Depending on what kind of cut you got your time on each side will vary. I bought really thin "tenders" so I cooked them about 2 minutes on each side flipping them roughly 4 times. (cook 2 minutes flip, 2 more minutes flip, 2 more minutes...etc) If you are unsure if they are done or not take a knife and cut into them and check! (the thicker the cut of your chop the longer they'll have to cook on each side)




After your pork chops are done, you'll want to chop up your 3 stalks of celery, onion, and 1/2 a green bell pepper and sautee them in olive oil in a pan until they are tender. This will only take a few minutes! After they are tender pour a whole can of chicken broth and your drained can of diced tomatoes. (you might notice that I used two different pans this is because the one in the first picture ended up being too small so I would suggest using the same pan you fried your pork chops in!) Set on a lower heat, cover, and cook for twenty minutes stirring occasionally. This medley of goodness will become a topper for your pork chops!



Now it's time for the grits! Put 1 can of chicken broth and 1 cup of milk into a pot and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, add 1/2 cup of grits, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally.



Layer your meal! In this order put your grits,a pork chop, then your veggie medley in a stack for best results! I bought some frozen vegetables "steamers" (took the easy way out for the side dish) that you put in the microwave! But of course you can choose whatever side you'd like!

This is a delicious meal that is sure to impress! I hope that you try and enjoy! And if you have any questions, just let me know!
