How to Make Easy Broccoli Pork Chop Dinner
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups of chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice, stir to combine, cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1 head of broccoli florets and ½ cup chopped sweet onion to the saucepan. Stir, cover, and simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the broth is completely absorbed.
- While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 (1-inch thick) pork chops and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet, cover, and keep warm.
- Add ½ cup Catalina dressing, ¼ cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 2 tablespoons maple syrup to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced by half and slightly thickened.
- Serve the pork chops over the rice and broccoli. Drizzle generously with the sauce and garnish with ¼ cup slivered almonds (optional).
