Ingredients

4 servings

nonstick cooking spray 1 (5 ounce) bone-in, center-cut pork chop 1 tablespoon mayonnaise ¼ cup garlic- and herb-seasoned panko bread crumbs ½ (6 ounce) package cheddar-broccoli rice mix (such as Knorr®) ¾ cup water 2 tablespoons whipping cream 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Roasted Chicken Drumsticks

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray a small casserole dish, about 6x8 inches, with cooking spray to keep things from sticking. Spread mayonnaise on one side of the pork chop, then press panko breadcrumbs onto the mayo so they stick well. Pour the rice mix into the casserole dish, then add the water and cream. Give it a good stir to combine everything. Place the pork chop on top of the rice, with the panko side facing up, and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over it. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and no longer pink inside. To be sure, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop to keep the crust crispy. Avoid microwaving, which can make the crust soggy.
