  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce {Check for Gluten}
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, finely ground
  • 1 bacon slice
  • 1/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth {Check for Gluten}
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup diced carrot
  • 2 teaspoons diced seeded jalapeno pepper

Instructions

  1. Place pork in a shallow dish; drizzle evenly with Worcestershire sauce. Combine salt, sage, and black pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 3/4 teaspoon salt mixture. Add walnuts to remaining salt mixture; toss well. Press walnut mixture onto both sides of pork. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  2. Cook bacon slice in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add pork to drippings in pan; cook 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

  3. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion and next 3 ingredients to pan; cover and cook 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in reserved 3/4 teaspoon salt mixture, chard, mushrooms, and apple. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until carrot is tender. Stir in rice and 1/2 cup broth. Bring to a simmer; cook, uncovered, 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in bacon. Place 1 cup rice mixture on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1 pork chop.
