This quick and flavorful dish combines tender pork with earthy mushrooms, all cooked to perfection in a single skillet. It’s a simple, satisfying meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the pork and cook it until it’s nicely browned, about 6 to 7 minutes, then transfer it to a plate. In the same skillet, add the onions and peppers and cook them until they start to brown, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes. Next, stir the pork back in along with the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and garlic.
