Weight Watchers Skillet Pork and Cabbage Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp table salt, divided
- 1 spray non fat cooking spray
- 1 pound center loin pork, lean only, 6 thin boneless pork chops
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
- 1/2 tsp thyme, fresh, minced, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 medium head red cabbage, coarsely shredded (about 4 cups)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, or to taste

TIP: Garnish with fresh thyme. Toss in some shredded carrot and bell pepper for color and added flavor. You can also use green cabbage if you prefer.

Directions:
Combine flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt on a plate; dredge pork in flour and turn to coat.
Coat a very large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add pork chops in a single layer; cook, flipping once, until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork and set aside. (If necessary, cook pork chops in two batches.)
Remove skillet from heat and coat with more cooking spray; add onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of broth to skillet; scrape up any browned bits of food with a wooden spoon. Stir in thyme, pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Return pork to skillet; sprinkle cabbage on top. Pour remaining 1/2 cup of broth into skillet, cover and reduce heat to low; simmer, turning pork over and stirring cabbage halfway through cooking, about 45 minutes.

Serving size is 1 pork chop and about 2/3 cup of vegetables

Weight Watchers Stuffed Cabbage Recipe

Ingredients:
- 1/3 heads Savoy cabbage, about 8 whole leaves
- 1/2 pound uncooked extra lean ground beef (with about 4% fat)
- 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
- 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 medium carrots, peeled and grated
- 1 medium onions, finely chopped
- 1 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

**Wanna turn this into a 4 Point Weight Watchers Recipe instead? Just substitute the rice for Orzo Miracle Noodle instead! Tastes the same, but you’ll knock 2 whole Weight Watchers Points off of each serving!! Woohoo!!!

Directions:
Wrap cabbage leaves in plastic wrap or moist paper towels and microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes, until soft. Cut off the thickest, white portion of the spine of each leaf to make leaves pliable and easy to fold; set aside.
Combine beef, rice, water, bread crumbs, carrot, onion, garlic, egg white, salt and pepper in a large bowl; mix well.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of beef mixture onto center of each leaf. Fold up bottom of leaf to cover filling, tuck in sides and then continue rolling to make loose rolls (rice will expand during cooking so it is important not to roll them too tightly).
Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat; add rolls and saute until golden brown on all sides, turning frequently, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until cooked through, checking pot every 15 minutes and stirring to prevent sticking, about 1 hour. (If sauce thickens or reduces, add water.) Enjoy!
