Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 package (5.6 ounces) instant chicken-flavored rice and sauce mix
  • 4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each)
  • 1 envelope seasoned coating mix

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the water, butter and rice with contents of sauce mix. Bring to a boil; stir. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 4 minutes or until the rice is almost tender. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, moisten pork chops with water; dip in coating mix. Cut a pocket in each chop; fill with rice mixture. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Spoon remaining rice around chops. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.
