I cut my pork chops up into small bite-size pieces for any recipe like this one to ensure the meat will not be dry.

This stretches the amount of pork for the meal as well making the meal more economical. You could also add a chopped onion and/or sliced & sauteed carrots to the mix to bulk-up the meal inexpensively.

The pork and sweet potato had great flavor but the texture of the rice & potatoes was odd together. I would make it again but with a few variations.

I thought this was good. My pork chops were a little dry. I'm going to try to make a sweet potato side dish based on these ingredients.
