At our house, we're big on healthy eating. These ultra tender chops with colorful rice and black-eyed peas are a meal fancy enough for a dinner party. —Annie Holmes, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Southern Pork & Rice Recipe photo by Taste of Home
1 can (15-1/2 ounces) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green chiles
1 cup uncooked instant rice
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
Directions
Sprinkle pork with 3/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; brown chops on both sides. Remove from pan.
Add pepper and onion to skillet; cook and stir until tender, 4-5 minutes. Stir in remaining seafood seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, peas, tomatoes, rice and broth. Bring to a boil. Place chops over top. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 2-3 minutes. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes before serving.
Health tip: Make this meal gluten-free by using gluten-free broth and Worcestershire sauce.

Instant rice is healthy eating?

I have not made this yet but it sounds good. Especially with AmandaRull's suggestions. My question to you is what kind/brand of seafood seasoning are you using. I have 3 variations in my pantry so any suggestions? Regular seafood; a creole type; traditional Old Bay? Lots of difference there. Thanks! If I get a response I'll try this and rate it for you.

I ended up dicing the pork chops, added salsa and used more rice and it was really good.
