Preparations
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) and grease a baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray or oil.

Pat pork chops dry with paper towel.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper and place on top of the rice mixture.
Cooking instructions
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check the pork chops with a thermometer to see if they are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 F.
Remove baked bone-in pork chops from the dish, cover, and bake again for another 30 to 40 minutes until the rice has fully absorbed the liquid and is tender.
Remove the cooked rice from the oven and use a fork to fluff the rice.
Serve the rice on a serving plate with the baked pork chops on top garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Recipe Notes
Using thin pork chopsIf you're using thinner pork chops, check them after 20-25 minutes to see if the internal temperature reaches 145F.Evenly spread the rice mixtureMake sure to evenly spread the rice in the baking dish so that it cooks evenly.Use a thermometerThe best way to make sure you end up with juicy pork chops is to use a thermometer to check that they're cooked to 145 F and not more. If they cook above that, they will be overcooked and dry.Keeping the cooked pork chops warmOnce the chops are cooked, you will want to keep them warm until the rice has cooked by covering them with foil and setting them aside.
