Pork Chops with Garden Rice

Ingredients

• 4 pork chops
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and pork chops and cook until the pork chops are golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
2. Add the rice, chicken broth, oregano, thyme, and basil to the skillet and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
3. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the pork chops.
