Pork Chops & Rice Skillet Meal

4-8 thin cut pork chops
1 sliced onion (optional)
1 can whole or large diced tomatoes
1 cup rice
1 can chicken broth or water

Brown pork chops in a skillet with a little oil - add a diced onion as the pork chops brown, if desired.

Remove pork chops to a plate (they don't have to be fully cooked just browned).

Add 1 can chicken broth or 1 to 1.5 cups of water to the pan and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup rice, stir, return to a boil, stir. Lower heat to medium-low (simmer).

Add one can whole or diced tomatoes. Return pork chops to top of mixture - pour any juices that have accumulated on the plate back into the skillet, cover with lid. Simmer for approx. 30-45 minutes until rice is done and pork chops have steamed until fully cooked and tender.

Use a heavy skillet, keep heat low and do not open or stir unless you feel you absolutely have to.
