1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried chives
¼ teaspoon onion powder
4 bone-in thick-cut pork chops (about 1 lb. each)
1 (1 ounce) packet Lipton Onion Soup & Dip Mix (or other seasoning of choice, see notes below)
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or basil

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together the soup, broth, rice, garlic powder, dried chives, and onion powder. Transfer to the prepared dish.
Pat the pork chops dry; place on top of the rice. Sprinkle onion soup mix over the pork chops to taste. If you don’t like a strong onion flavor or if you don’t want the chops too salty, use just a portion of the seasoning (not the whole packet).
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour, 15 minutes - 1 hour, 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pork chops are cooked through.
Remove the pork chops to a platter. Fluff the rice with a fork (it should be tender and creamy, almost like risotto).
Garnish the rice and pork chops with fresh herbs and serve!

If you're using boneless pork chops or smaller pork chops, they may be done in as little as 30-45 minutes. If this is the case, remove the chops from the dish as soon as they're cooked through. Tent them with foil, and return the rice to the oven (covered) to continue baking until it's tender. Pork chops are ready when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F on an instant read meat thermometer.
Do not substitute with brown rice, instant rice, Minute rice, wild rice, parboiled rice, or any other variety. These different types of rice will require different amounts of liquid and/or different cooking times.
