Pork chops may be basic (we like to say “classic”), but they never have to be boring! Especially these juicy, satisfying chops topped with lots of garlicky mushroom-studded marinara sauce. Fresh Fam, you know by now: It’s all about that powerhouse pan sauce! Tender roasted bell peppers and half-moon potatoes complete the plate for a dinner idea that’s filling, flavorful, and a far cry from your everyday “other white meat.”

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Halve potatoes lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1⁄4-inch-thick half- moons. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip this step if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Peel and mince or grate garlic.
• Toss potatoes and bell pepper on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer to a cutting board to rest. Wipe out pan. TIP: Tent pork with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.
Swap in chicken* for pork. Cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and slightly crispy, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is fragrant and mushrooms are browned and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• Stir marinara, stock concentrate, and 1⁄2 cup water (3⁄4 cup for 4 servings) into pan with mushroom mixture. Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted.
• Slice pork crosswise. • Divide pork and roasted veggies between plates. Spoon mushroom marinara over pork and serve.
Slice chicken crosswise.
