Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onions and green peppers to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the raw white rice and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the rice becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped stewed tomatoes and sugar to the skillet, stirring to combine with the rice mixture.
  6. Arrange the pork chops on top of the rice and tomato mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the pork chops and rice.
  8. Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes.
  10. Carefully uncover the skillet and gently stir the rice mixture to distribute the liquid, being careful not to break the pork chops.
  11. Return the skillet to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pork chops are cooked through.
  12. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
