Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Season the pork chops on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth. Stir until well-mixed.
Spread the uncooked rice evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Scatter the diced onion over the rice.
Pour the soup and chicken broth mixture evenly over the rice and onions.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the rice mixture.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil to prevent the liquid from evaporating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Carefully remove the foil, and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
