Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lb. boneless pork sirloin chops (cut into bite-sized pieces)

1/2 onion (diced)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup uncooked white rice (I use Jasmine)

1 tbsp Italian Seasoning

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

2 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup sour cream

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the pork with the garlic and onions, until the pork is browned and the onions are tender (about 5 to 7 minutes).

Add the rice, Italian seasoning, frozen peas and carrots and chicken broth tot he skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 18 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the sour cream and 1/2 cup of the cheese until combined. Top with the remaining cheese. Cover with the lid for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese melts. Or optionally, you can place the skillet under your oven's broiler for about 2 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melted. Enjoy!
