My family gets excited when they see it coming out of the oven because the rice soaks up all the savory juices from the pork chops. It is a complete dinner in one dish which makes cleanup easy and gives me more time to relax with everyone. The pork chops stay tender and the rice turns out fluffy and full of flavor. This is a perfect recipe for busy weeknights or for a simple Sunday dinner. It also packs a good amount of protein from the pork and the rice provides energy to keep everyone full and happy.
