Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 head (medium, chopped) green cabbage
- 1 medium (chopped) yellow onion
- 2 medium (sliced into thin rounds) carrots
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place the pork chops on a microwave-safe plate and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Let them rest for 5 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe 9x13-inch casserole dish, add the chopped cabbage, onion, and carrot slices, distributing them evenly.
Step 3
Dot the vegetables with butter, placing small pieces throughout. Pour chicken broth evenly over the vegetables.
Step 4
Place the seasoned pork chops on top of the vegetable mixture, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
Step 5
Cover the casserole dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave-safe lid. Make sure to leave a small gap for steam to escape.
Step 6
Microwave on HIGH for 22-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the vegetables are tender. Cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so check after 20 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully remove the plastic wrap or lid, being cautious of hot steam. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops alongside the vegetable mixture, and enjoy your hearty microwave meal!
