Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked white rice
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried chives
• 3 cups water
• (16 ounce) package frozen peas and carrots
• (8 ounce) bag frozen corn
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 (18 ounce) package boneless pork chops, cubed
• cup soy sauce

Directions

1. Combine the rice, basil, oregano, and chives in a medium saucepan. Add the water and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
3. While the rice is cooking, place the frozen peas, carrots, and corn in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a splash of water and cover. Microwave on high for 6 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables are heated through.
4. In a large saut pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cubed pork chops and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the pork is no longer pink in the center.
5. Once the pork is cooked, add the heated vegetables, cooked rice, and soy sauce to the saut pan. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to combine.
6. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty pork chop and vegetable rice dish!
