🧂 Ingredients

4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
1 cup long grain white rice
1 packet onion soup mix
1 4 oz jar mushrooms
2 cups water
salt and pepper
butter or olive oil

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2 Spread 1 cup of uncooked rice evenly in the dish. Add one packet of onion soup
mix and 2 cups of water. Stir to combine. Add 1 4-oz jar of mushrooms evenly
over the top.
3 Cover the dish with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
4 Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, add butter or
olive oil and sear the chops for about 2 minutes per side to lock in flavor.
5 Remove the dish from oven. Place the seared pork chops on top of the rice
mixture. Cover the dish again and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes for thin
chops, 15-20 for thick chops, or until the pork is tender and fully cooked.
6 Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh
parsley for a pop of color.
