My family enjoys cooking easy and delicious meals. This pork chop recipe is also inexpensive, which makes cooking easier for everyone. Keep an eye on the spinach—it cooks fast!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 bone-in pork loin chops (8 ounces each)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 medium lemon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 2 packages (5 ounces each) fresh spinach, stems removed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Saute until a thermometer reads 145°, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter; squeeze juice from lemon over chops. Tent with foil; let stand at least 5 minutes before serving.
2. For garlic spinach, heat oil over medium-high heat in same skillet. Add garlic; cook until it just begins to brown, about 45 seconds. Add spinach; cook and stir just until wilted, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; add lemon juice. Transfer to serving platter. Remove foil from pork; serve spinach with chops.
