Hello! I'd like to make this for my husband, but the potassium level is higher than I'd like. Is there a way of lowering it? Thank you! Dietitian comment: You can cut the onion, bell pepper and mushrooms in half to reduce potassium by 73 mg per serving = 395 mg. Our cut-off for low vs. high potassium for entrees and one dish meals is 500 mg. Recipes with over 500 mg potassium are tagged with the High Potassium diet type.

We loved this recipe. It's easy to make, requires little clean-up and is delicious. The pork chops are so tender and flavorful.

Really starting to enjoy all the peppers, onions and mushrooms. Had some ready to go and it made the meal much easier to prepare. With the simple cook the meal was done in no time. A little dry for my wifes taste, but I at the leftovers for lunch the next day.
