Pork Chop Skillet

Ingredients:
2 small pork chops (boneless is easiest)

1/2 cup white rice (uncooked)

1 medium zucchini, diced small

1 1/4 cups water

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper (optional)

1 tsp oil, butter, or margarine (optional)

Optional: garlic/onion powder, paprika, or bouillon cube for flavor

Instructions (Microwave Only):
Step 1: Cook the Rice
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine:

1/2 cup white rice

1 cup water

Pinch of salt

Cover loosely (with a plate or microwave-safe lid) and microwave on HIGH for 8–10 minutes until water is absorbed.

Let sit for 2 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Step 2: Steam the Zucchini
In a separate bowl, add diced zucchini with a splash (2–3 tbsp) of water.

Cover and microwave for 3–4 minutes until tender. Drain water.

Step 3: Cook the Pork Chops
Place pork chops in a microwave-safe dish.

Add a splash of water (1–2 tbsp) to keep moist.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any seasoning you have.

Cover loosely and microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes per chop (total 6–7 minutes), flipping halfway through.

Check that there’s no pink inside. Add more time if needed (1 min at a time).

Optional: Cut into pieces before cooking for faster results.

Step 4: Combine & Serve
Mix cooked pork (sliced or chopped), rice, and zucchini in one bowl.

Add oil or margarine for flavor (optional).

Stir, taste, and adjust salt/seasoning.
