I used to make this skillet quite often when I had a sweetness craving that needed to be tamed. I "skinnied" this one up a little from the last time I made it. Unfortunately, I don't remember the source for this one. I've been making it off and on for years. I am guessing it came from Kraft.com because of the dressing in the recipe, but I'm not entirely sure. This one only takes about 5 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of cooking. It's a quick, easy, and tasty weeknight meal.
Ingredients
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
2 medium bell peppers (you choose the colors) cut into chunks
2 cans of pineapple tidbits or chunks, drained
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup fat free Catalina dressing
1 1/2 cups instant rice (make sure it is instant; I didn't check that the first time I made it. Oops!)
1 lb boneless, lean pork chops (you could use bone-in, but that may change the nutritional information)
**If this looks too sweet, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes**
Directions
-heat oil in skillet at medium heat
-place chops in skillet and season to taste; cook each side until browned (4 min each side or so)
-add fruit, veggies, broth, dressing, ginger, and garlic powder. Mix well and bring to boil. Takes about 5 minutes
-stir in rice and cover
-reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes
-turn off heat and let sit for at least 5 minutes
-serve and enjoy!
Each serving is one chop and about a cup and a half of rice mixture
