A delightful twist on a classic Greek-inspired dish, these pork chops are baked with a flavorful herb crust and topped with a savory feta and olive mixture.
Combine the parsley, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Mix the flour and black pepper in a shallow dish.
Use a fine sieve to ensure the flour mixture is evenly combined.
Coat each pork chop evenly with the flour mixture.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping.
Heat an ovenproof skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops for a good sear.
Bake the pork chops in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Cover the skillet with foil to retain moisture.
Combine the feta cheese and olives in a small bowl.
Chop the olives finely for a more even distribution.
Spoon the feta and olive mixture over the pork chops and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Broil for the last minute for a golden topping.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
