Italian Smothered Pork Chops

• 1/2 pound broccoli rabe
• 4 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick and 6 ounces each)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/2 cup sliced roasted sweet red pepper
• 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1. Preheat broiler. Trim 1/2 in. off ends of broccoli rabe; discard any coarse leaves.
2. In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe; cook, uncovered, 4-5 minutes or just until crisp-tender. Remove and immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat dry.
3. Sprinkle pork chops with seasonings. In a broiler-safe skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145u0b0. Remove from heat.
4. Layer chops with red pepper, broccoli rabe and cheese. Broil 4 in. from heat 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
