Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

Substitutions: You can substitute minute rice with pre-cooked regular rice or brown rice for a healthier option. Adjust baking time if using brown rice as it may require longer to heat through.

Variations: Add other vegetables like peas, carrots, or corn to the rice mixture for extra nutrition and color.

Tip: Ensure the pork chops are not too thick, as this can affect the cooking time. If they are thick, consider pounding them slightly before baking.
