Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of celery soup
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned but not fully cooked. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the long-grain white rice, chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Pour the rice and soup mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the seared pork chops on top of the rice mixture, slightly pressing them into the casserole.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the foil carefully and bake for an additional 10 minutes to let the pork chops brown slightly on top and ensure the liquid is fully absorbed.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
