Boneless pork chops are baked with rice, peppers, and tomatoes in one pan for a simple meal that’s ready in less than an hour.
Don’t you just love dinners that are easy, made in one pan and delicious? This pork chop dinner is made with seared boneless pork chops that are topped with a simple mixture of vegetables over rice. And the best part? You only have to wash one pan!
Easy One Pan Pork Chop Dinner
This recipe is from my mother’s recipe collection and it’s been in the family for years. Back in the day pork had to be cooked through, and the tomatoes and vegetables help to keep this dish moist while the rice cooks. Not only do the tomatoes add moisture to this dish, their natural flavors blend well with the peppers and onions.
I prefer to use a cast iron pan when I make this recipe because it browns the pork nicely before the other ingredients are added, and I can pop the pan in the oven.
INGREDIENTS/TOOLS USED IN THIS RECIPE
- Olive Oil
- Brown Rice

I love family recipes. It’s the heirloom you want to inherit! Classic dishes are always the best.
Thanks Kitty!
it’s hard to believe that all of this deliciousness can be ready in less than an hour! And the fact it’s all one pan dinner makes it a perfect meal for a weekday!
Thanks Anna! I love the name of your blog, that used to be my nickname when I was a kid!
A plate of well cooked rice with any well cooked meat is perfect! I would much rather have a simple dish done really well than a complicated one that is sub par. This looks great.
I agree!
I love your cast iron pan and also love that this beautiful meal can be made all in it. The herbs de Provence would taste wonderful with these ingredients. I’m pinning this to try it later. Sounds so good.
I also love my cast iron pan because it lets me move from the stove directly to the oven without swapping for a different dish. This recipe looks lovely and I appreciate that it’s one dish!
Love family recipes! Isn’t it so comforting when you’re eating something other generations used to make for you?! Like all the memories flood in with each bite, so good. Also, one pan?! SO. GOOD.
Thanks Lauren!
Yes! 1 pan meals are the best. This one looks delicious. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Thanks Kat!
Looks so good! My husband will love this recipe. Can I use white rice instead of brown or will it get mushy. thanks for this recipe and love your blog
Thanks cindy!
one pan dinners are the best esp on a weeknight.
Thanks Dixya!
Love one pan meals — we are always looking for short cuts but not cuts on flavor. We are more knowlegeable on pork and don’t have to cook it until it’s dry as a bone. Your recipe is anything but that. This recipe is a keeper.
Thanks Marisa!
I’m all about only washing one pan! I know my kids would love the ingredients in this dish too!
thanks Rachel!
I too love using my cast iron skillet to get that wonderful sear on the pork chops. Thanks for sharing this one pan recipe – definitely pinning for later!
You are welcome Jess!
Last week I picked up a bunch of pork chops that were on sale during the Easter holiday. I’ve been searching for new pork recipes to mix it up for meals in our house and I just love the variety of ingredients used to add different flavors!
This recipe looks really good
