When you are looking for a skillet meal that brings together all the best flavors of a classic Asian meal, you will want this Asian Pork Chops Skillet Meal. Easy to make, this one pan dinner makes the best Asia Pork Loin meal ever.
Asian Pork Chops Skillet Meal
I love the flavors of Asian pork chops. In fact, I love the flavors of Asian food. I love being able to make a recipe like this at home because ordering out gets expensive fast. I also like making it at home because I am in control of what is in the recipe. With this Asian pork loin recipe, I know exactly what is in it and that means, I know exactly what I am feeding my family. This is great when we are trying to create healthy eating habits.
Why Use Pork Loin in this Asian Pork Loin Recipe
Whenever we want pork chops, I buy a pork loin instead. The last time I priced it, pork chops were $3.99 a pound and the tenderloin was $1.89 a pound. That is a significant difference. Also, the loin has less fat on it so it means that I spend less time trimming the meat. I am also not paying for things that I am throwing away.
How Many Weight Watchers Points in Asian Pork Chops
These delicious Asian pork loin is such a simple meal. And as far as Weight Watchers pork chops recipes go, it is pretty healthy. This Weight Watchers pork loin recipe is 4 Weight Watchers Points per serving. I like to make extra vegetables when we make it so that the meal is even more filling and it doesn’t add any points. Serve it with a side of Cauliflower Fried Rice

I love a good cast iron skillet meal. I am always looking for meals that are easy to make and dinner is easier when it is made in one pan. In the past, we have shared a few skillet meals, like Cajun Pork Skillet Meal and Autumn Vegetables and Pasta Skillet Meal. We even make an Easy Skillet Frittata that is a low-cost dinner as well as an easy skillet meal.When we are running around like crazy, I need something that is going to be easy to cook, won’t take a long time, and won’t make a lot of dishes for me to clean up afterwards.
