Notes

TIPS:
  • Swap the rice with pearled couscous for an even faster dinner.
  • Use boneless pork chops that are at least an inch thick to ensure juicy pork chops for the best results.
  • Before adding the casserole to the oven, make sure the cover of the dish has a tight seal so that the tender rice cooks properly.
  • If you prefer more tender pork chops, adjust the cooking time by giving the rice a head start to cook for about 25 minutes; then add the pork chops; cover and cook until the rice is ready and the pork chops are cooked to an Internal Temperature of at least 145 degrees.
Boneless pork chops can be substituted for bone in or boneless chicken breasts or thighs.
Brown rice can be substituted with white rice. Reduce the cooking time by 15 minutes.
Herbs de Provence can be substituted with any combination of a few pinches of rosemary, basil, oregano thyme or marjoram.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave or on top of the stove.
