• Step 2

  Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Add olive oil.

• Step 3

  Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Cook pork chops in the hot oil until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to baking dish and top each with remaining pesto. Season with red pepper flakes. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.

• Step 4

  Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours. Allow pork chops to rest for 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:

I used the Spinach Basil Pesto recipe from Allrecipes.
