A Southeast Asian–accented broth adds zest to pork and vegetables in this flavorful dish.

Ingredients:

cooking spray

4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons chopped green onions

1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh lemongrass

1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh ginger

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

8 ounces carrot, halved lengthwise and cut into (3-inch) pieces

1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

1 garlic clove, sliced

4 baby bok choy, halved

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions:

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle pork with pepper and salt. Add pork to pan; cook 3 1/2 minutes on each side or until the pork is done. Remove from pan; keep warm.
2. Add onions and next 6 ingredients (through garlic) to pan. Bring to a simmer. Cook 6 minutes. Arrange bok choy in a single layer over carrot mixture. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook 4 minutes or until bok choy is tender. Stir in cilantro and juice. Cut each pork chop into (1/2-inch-thick) slices. Spoon 1/2 cup vegetable mixture into each of 4 shallow bowls; top each serving with 3 ounces pork.
