Chop cilantro and slice chives. Cut bell peppers in half crosswise and remove stems and seeds.
Brush pork chops with lime juice, then sprinkle with cilantro.
Arrange flat in a microwave-safe dish.
Mix rice, chives, crumbled oregano, pepper, cumin and melted butter together.
Fill each pepper half with rice mixture and place in the dish with pork chops.
Cover dish with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the dish a quarter turn twice, until chops are slightly pink in center when tested with a sharp knife.
Remove from microwave and let stand covered for 5 minutes, until pork is no longer pink. Garnish with lime wedges and serve right away.
