Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 cup uncooked instant rice
2 teaspoons Mexican seasoning
1/2 cup frozen whole kernel corn (from 1-lb bag)
1/4 cup chopped bell pepper
2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)
2 pork boneless rib or loin chops, 3/4 to 1 inch thick (4 oz each)
1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning
Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut two 18x12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Spray half of one side of each piece with cooking spray.
  • In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, heat broth to boiling; remove from heat. Stir in rice and 2 teaspoons Mexican seasoning; let stand about 5 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Stir in corn, bell pepper and onions.
  • Sprinkle each pork chop with 1/2 teaspoon Mexican seasoning; place on center of sprayed half of foil. Spoon rice mixture over pork. Fold foil over pork and rice so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
  • Cover and grill packets over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Serve with salsa.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder.

I added some chopped bell peppers and onions to the foil packs and it gave the dish a nice crunch.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of pork and it turned out great!

I found that the cooking time was a bit too long. The pork was a little overcooked for my liking.

The pork was a little dry for my taste, but the flavor was still good.
