Notes
- When preparing for two servings, use the full quantities of rice, broth, and vegetables but place only two pork chops on top.
- Cover casserole tightly during initial baking to ensure rice cooks properly and pork remains moist.
- Browning under the broiler adds texture and flavor; watch carefully to prevent burning.
