Rice Stuffed Pork Chops

2 ¼ cup water

1 tablespoon butter

1 package (5.6 ounces) Instant chicken flavored rice

4 bone in pork loin chops

1 envelope shake-n-bake

In a large saucepan, combine water, butter and rice with seasoning package, if there is one. Bring to a boil; stir. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 4 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, moisten pork chops with water; dip in shake-n-bake. Cut a pocket in each chop; fill with rice. Place on an ungreased 9x13 dish. Spoon remaining rice around chops. Bake at 425 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.

For this recipe, you can also use boneless pork chops, just make sure you reduce the cooking time. It is also easier if you cut the pocket in the pork chops and fill it with the rice before you dip them in the shake-n-bake, it is makes it less messy. Because there is rice in the pork chops, all you have to fix with this meal is a vegetable, because everything else is already ready.

Another thing you can do to mix this recipe up is either try it with chicken instead of pork chops, again, you will have to adjust the cooking time and temperature. Or you could try a different type of rice instead of chicken flavored. There are many types out there for you to choose from, so you are bound to find something that tastes good.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, it is pretty fast and easy, and everyone should love it.
