Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Season both sides of the pork chops with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, and finely diced onion. Stir until evenly mixed.
Transfer the rice mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the rice mixture.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
