Tasty Solo Meal: Garlic and Herb Pork Chop Delight
  • Prep Time

Ingredients

  • A light mist of nonstick cooking spray
  • One bone-in pork chop, weighing 5 ounces, cut from the center
  • A dollop of mayonnaise, equivalent to 1 tablespoon
  • A generous 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs infused with garlic and herbs
  • Half a package of cheddar-broccoli rice mix (like KnorrĀ®), about 6 ounces
  • A dash more than 1/2 cup of water, totaling 3/4 cup
  • Two tablespoons of whipping cream
  • A single tablespoon of finely grated Parmesan cheese

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for that perfect cooking temperature. Take a moment to generously spray a 6x8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray, ensuring easy cleanup later on.

Step 2

Now, let's get creative with your pork chop preparation. Begin by generously coating one side of each pork chop with a smooth layer of mayonnaise. Next, gently press a crunchy panko coating onto the mayonnaise-covered side, creating a deliciously crispy texture.

Step 3

Moving on to the casserole, pour the rice mix into the awaiting dish, followed by a careful addition of water and cream. Mix everything together until well combined, creating a creamy base for your dish. Now, gently place the prepared pork chop into the casserole dish, ensuring the coated side is facing up, ready to be baked to perfection.

Step 4

To add a final touch of flavor, generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of the pork chop. Pop the dish into the preheated oven and bake until the pork chop is no longer pink in the center, typically around 20 minutes. To ensure it's cooked just right, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the center registers at 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Enjoy your deliciously cooked meal!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Organize your ingredients in a way that makes preparing the meal a breeze. Keep the garlic cloves, fresh herbs, and pork chops together in a designated section of your fridge or pantry.
  2. 2. Invest in airtight containers to store the garlic and herbs. This will help them stay fresh for longer periods of time and protect their flavors.
