How to Make Roast Pork And Apple Dinner
- Spray a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
- Add 4 (1-inch thick) pork chops to the skillet.
- Cook over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of your favorite Italian dressing. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 1/2 cup water, 1 medium apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and diced, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme.
- Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed, and the pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
