I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe was a disaster. The pork chops were burnt and the rice was raw. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The pork chops were a bit dry, but the rice was very flavorful. I would recommend using a different pork chop recipe and using this rice recipe.
