Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Pour the rice mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

Season the pork chops with a small pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat. Sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown (they do not need to be fully cooked at this stage).

Step 7

Arrange the seared pork chops on top of the rice mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam and retain moisture.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender, the liquid is absorbed, and the pork chops are fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).

Step 10

Carefully remove the foil and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
