Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

0.25 cup olive oil
3 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano and/or rosemary
2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoon onion powder
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 bone-in pork loin chops, cut 1/2 inch thick (3 to 4 lb.) and trimmed
1 16 ounce pkg. dried orzo pasta
6 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 cup chopped red bell peppers
2 cup pitted green olives, halved
2 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz.)
Chopped fresh Italian parsley (optional)

Steps:

For marinade, in an extra-large bowl whisk together first eight ingredients (through black pepper). Add chops, spooning marinade over chops to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour.
In a deep 12-inch nonstick skillet cook chops, half at a time, over medium-high heat 8 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145°F, turning once. Remove from skillet; cover and keep warm.
Add orzo to same skillet. Cook and stir 1 minute, scraping up crusty browned bits. Slowly add broth, scraping up any remaining bits. Stir in bell peppers and olives. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 7 minutes. Simmer, uncovered, 2 minutes more or until orzo is nearly tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in tomatoes.
Transfer half of the orzo mixture to an airtight container. Top with four of the chops; cool slightly. Store in freezer up to 2 months.
Serve remaining orzo mixture topped with chops and 1/2 cup feta cheese. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
