Fall Apart Tender Pork Chops Recipes

COUNTRY PORK CHOP AND RICE BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Whisk together the soup, broth, rice, garlic powder, dried chives, and onion powder. Transfer to the prepared dish.
• Pat the pork chops dry; place on top of the rice. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops, to taste. If you don't like a strong onion flavor or if you don't want the chops too salty, use just a portion of the seasoning (not the whole packet).
• Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Check the pork chops at this point. If they are done (and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F), remove them from the dish, cover with foil, and set aside to rest. Give the rice a stir. The rice will not be tender yet, so cover the dish again and return to the oven for about 25-30 more minutes, or just until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the pork chops. Garnish with herbs, if desired.

• In small bowl, whisk together rest of ingredients. Pour slowly and evenly over chops.
• Cover with lid, and pop into 300ºF oven and bake for 2 1/2 hours. (*3 hours if super thick-cut.) Do not lift lid during baking.
• Make rice during last 30 minutes of baking time.
• To serve, place chops onto servings of rice, whisk leftover gravy sauce in pan until creamy, cooled down a little and thickened a bit (this will take a few minutes), and ladle (lots!) of gravy over chops and rice. (*For a richer sauce, whisk in 1 Tbl. sour cream.) Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley if desired.
