Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with 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 dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Check the pork chops at this point. If they are done (and have reached an internal temperature of 145°F), remove them from the dish, cover with foil, and set aside to rest. Give the rice a stir. The rice will not be tender yet, so cover the dish again and return to the oven for about 25-30 more minutes, or just until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the pork chops. Garnish with herbs, if desired.

SIMPLY OVEN BAKED PORK CHOPS AND RICE
This is DH's recipe. It is simple comfort food and is very versatile. You can use chicken quarters in place of chops or chicken broth in place of water. Feel free to experiment with different herbs. We never make this the same way twice. A side note: I would recommend using a bone in, fattier cut of pork and not loin chops in this recipe.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they cook evenly and stay juicy.
- Season the pork chops generously: Pork chops are a relatively mild-flavored meat, so it's important to season them well before cooking. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Sear the pork chops over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the chops while keeping the inside juicy. Make sure to sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the pork chops should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice are all great options.
