My husband loved this! I was looking for an easy dish to throw together and this was it. I followed other reviewers suggestion and used chicken stock as oppose to water. I think I'll cover this dish next time to keep some of the moisture looked into the Pork chops.

When I first looked at this recipe I started planning to make this pork chop dish. However, the sodium is way too high for me. I try to limit my daily sodium intake to 1500 - 1800 mg. Looks tasty otherwise!

My family LOVED this recipe! The only thing I changed was I used chicken broth instead of water. Delicious! I will definitely make this again.

There is a Green Chili Rice dish on this site that would be close to this recipe if you added the pork chops, but with the addition of sour cream and cheese would have a lot more flavor.
