Notes
Pro Tips
Sear for Flavor: You are not fully cooking the chops, just sealing in the juices.
Use yellow rice: Yellow Rice has so much flavor and makes this dish wonderful. Instant rice or minute rice will not work for this recipe.
Mushrooms: Sometimes I use fresh mushrooms in this dish and sauté them slightly in the same pan I used to brown the pork chops.
Beef Broth: You can use broth in place of water if desired. Beef, Chicken, or Vegetable broth will all work nicely.
