Five-Spice Pork Chops with Grilled Vegetables (semi-quick meal)

Taste really good, but it does take a while to prep/cook (about 40 minutes all together). This is one of my husband's favorite meals as the vegetables just soak up the sauce.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 TBSP honey
1/4 tsp five-spice powder (I use Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic)
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 in-bone pork chops, about 1 inch thick
1 TBSP olive oil
4 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 green bellpepper, sliced into long pieces
1 onion, sliced into wedges (I use an apple corer to cut it fast and easy, then peel apart the layers)
1 cup of rice

Cook rice as instructed on package. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder. Season the porkchops to taste with salt and pepper. Grill for 10 minutes, turning once. Using a brush, baste the chops with sauce and grill until cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Divide porkchops onto plates over rice. Toss vegetables in the same pan used for porkchops. Add remainder of sauce mixture. Cook until tender. Divide vegetable onto plates and drizzle with sauce (We love the sauce so I just pour all of it over each plate. Add as much or as little as you like).
