Herbed Skillet Pork Chops and Onion Wild Rice Recipe
his is a simple weekday meal that takes less than 30 minutes to cook. A healthy choice adapted from a Cooking Light Lemon-Herb Pork Chop recipe, which didn't include the rice, but the addition of the the wild rice makes for a satisfying and low calorie meal without the super-sized portions. You'll find you still have room (and calories) for a bit of dessert.

I didn't make it exactly as the recipe describes because I didn't have all the appropriate seasonings and I had to use a non-wheat flour, but it turned out WONDERFULLY all the same. I did follow the method for the pork chops to the T, and they were cooked perfectly with great flavor. The wild rice takes a lot longer to cook, but the pork chops really do come together quickly.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
