02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

09 - 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
10 - 1 can (300 g) cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup
11 - 420 ml chicken broth or water
12 - 1/2 cup diced onion
13 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
14 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
15 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
16 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
17 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
18 - 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra flavor)

# Instrucțiuni:

01 - Preheat your oven to 175°C.
02 - In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
04 - In a large baking dish (23×33 cm), combine rice, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, diced onions, bell peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed. Dot the rice mixture with small pieces of butter for extra richness.
05 - Place the seasoned pork chops on top of the rice mixture. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the rice is tender and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 63°C).
06 - For a golden finish, remove the foil and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
07 - Use a fork to fluff the rice, mixing in any excess juices from the pork chops. Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

# Note utile:

01 - Add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the rice mixture for extra flavor.
02 - Mix in 1/4 cup of sour cream or heavy cream to the rice for added creaminess.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
