Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Peel and mince garlic. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. • In a small bowl, combine honey, mustard, stock concentrate, and ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings) until smooth. Set aside until ready to use in step 4.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, pat pork* dry with paper towels; season all over with paprika, salt, and pepper. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if pork begins to brown too quickly. • Turn off heat; transfer pork to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat pan used for pork over medium-high heat. Add honey mustard sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place broccoli in a large microwave- safe bowl; cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in wrap. • Microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. Carefully uncover (watch out for steam!) and toss broccoli with 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. TIP: No microwave? No problem! Boil the broccoli in a medium pot of salted water until tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain, then toss with butter, salt, and pepper as instructed.
• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice, pork, and broccoli between plates. Spoon sauce over pork and serve.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The honey mustard pan sauce is the star — rich, tangy, and a genuine crowd-pleaser. Some found the rice and broccoli mild on their own, but the sauce ties everything together beautifully.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick, straightforward weeknight meal that even beginner cooks can handle with confidence.
- Suggestions: Watch the pork closely — several cooks found 4–6 minutes per side too long, leading to tough, dry chops; try 3 minutes on the first side and 2 on the second, or use a meat thermometer. If the paprika burns at medium-high heat, lower it to medium to avoid bitterness on the crust.
- Leftovers: Rice reheats well the next day, though a few noted it loses some texture; pork is best enjoyed fresh.
- Broccoli: Roasting the broccoli in the oven instead of microwaving it was a popular upgrade — try tossing it with olive oil, salt, and pepper for extra flavor. Adding cheese on top is another easy way to make it more exciting.
Reviews from our home cooks
Thank you for including alternate cooking for the broccoli, since I do not have a microwave. This was super fast to prepare and place on the stove. Hurray for a 'no oven' recipe! Pork chops with paprika and the honey mustard sauce (sadly I again never got it thicken - but was good runny) tasted great! Rice came out perfect!
Best pork chops I've ever made. The rice and the honey mustard sauce were the stars of the show. Portions were perfect - I was worried there wouldn't be enough food, but it kept both my husband and I satisfied for the rest of the evening.
Love these pork chops. They were so tender. The honey mustard sauce was a nice complement to the pork. It was extremely tasty. The rice and broccoli were good sides for this meal.
Great meal! Love that rice was paired with it. The sauce is sweet without being overpowering and the pork chops are very tender. Also, I didn't realize it was so easy to steam raw broccoli in the microwave! Very satisfying meal.
The honey mustard sauce made the meal! I added to my broccoli and rice as well.
Never thought of using honey mustard on pork chops. It was Great. Also one of best pork chops I have had. Love the choices of meat sent.
Very good! The pork was tender & the sauce was complimentary to the garlic rice. This would also make a nice stir-fry if you cut up the pork into pieces.
Loved it! In step 4, the sauce in the pan appears to have a red color, but the sauce I prepared was not red at all. What did I miss? Also, the pork chops did cook too quickly under medium high heat, or our stove heats too hot! Love the garlic rice and the microwave method of heating the broccoli!
Pork chops cooked great! Broccoli with butter was overwhelming. The rice was quite dry, still gotta figure out the best water ratio. Flavors didnt mix together especially well.
Pork chop seasoning, preparation and sauce delicious. Rice was a little bland. Broccoli was good and combination was balanced and delicious. I use meat thermometer and cooked the pork chops for 3 minutes first side and only 2 minutes the second side.
