A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender pork chops baked with creamy rice, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal results.
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Let the seasoned pork chops sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until fragrant and softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice, milk, and sautéed aromatics. Mix well.
Ensure the rice is evenly coated with the milk mixture for consistent cooking.
Place the seasoned pork chops in a baking dish and pour the rice mixture around them.
Arrange the pork chops so they are partially submerged in the liquid for even cooking.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1.5 hours.
Check halfway through to ensure the rice is absorbing the liquid properly.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
This step enhances the texture and appearance of the dish.
Serve the pork chops with the creamy rice on a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
