Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, wash and dry produce.
Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
Pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the garlic powder (you'll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add pork and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over, 4-8 minutes (it'll finish cooking in the next step). Transfer pork to one side of a baking sheet. (For 4 servings, spread pork out across entire sheet.)
On opposite side of sheet from pork, toss broccoli with a drizzle of oil, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss broccoli on a second baking sheet.)
Roast on top rack until pork is cooked through and broccoli is browned and tender, 12-15 minutes. (For 4, roast broccoli on top rack and pork on middle rack, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
Transfer pork to a cutting board to rest for at least 5 minutes.
While pork and broccoli roast, in a small bowl, combine chimichurri and sour cream.
Thinly slice pork crosswise.
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted.
Divide rice and broccoli between plates in separate sections. Top rice with pork; spoon creamy chimichurri over pork. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was amazing! The chimichurri was delicious I added just a little salt and pepper to it and it was amazing with the chicken. Very quick to make as well. Please offer this more often
Chimichurri anything please! This sauce is delicious and this recipe was so easy and quick.
Second time I've gotten this meal the chimichurri is so good all over the protein and rice and veg I could drink that sauce
My picky teen loved this dish. The chimichurri was so amazing and we hope we can add it to other dishes we want to try.
Good flavors and easy quick prep. Received recipe card for pork but received chicken. Received green beans in place of broccoli. Worked just fine with the substitutions.
The rice was a bit undercooked even following the instructions. The broccoli came as a full head instead of pieces. The recipe card spoke to pork in all the instructions. The chimichurri was very good and worked well with chicken.
This was very good and I loved the sauce but the whole meal just needs a something. The rice seemed too plain with the broccoli, maybe something more Mexican with it like Spanish rice would be more tasty.
I usually steam the broccoli. Love the chimchurri sauce. I use it on any leftovers! So good
Delicious! I really liked the chimichurri sauce. It goes well on a variety of foods.
This was quite yummy. Although my family is not a fan of "roasted" broccoli b/c it makes it taste/smell too cabbage-y, so we'd probably just steam it.
