Tips for Best Results

Always remove the pork chops from the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Always season pork chops before cooking, err on the side of more seasoning than less as pork chops can tend to come out bland if not seasoned well.
Sear the pork chops on all sides when baking them to lock in flavor and ensure they cook evenly.

Variations

You can switch up the flavor of this recipe by changing out the soup: cream of chicken soup or cream of celery soup are two options that work well.

You can also use bone-in pork chops but the cooking time will need to be adjusted longer. Always cook pork to 145° F.

If you choose to use a different rice you may have to adjust the cooking time. Brown rice will take longer to cook while basmati or jasmine rice should be about the same..

Serving suggestions

Wondering what to serve with pork chops? I like to serve these with a side of veggies for a complete meal. I promise it will be your favorite pork chop recipe for years to come!
