How to Make Baked Pork Chops And Spiced Rice

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Season 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick) generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup raisins, 1 cup chicken broth, and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar.
  6. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Arrange 1 medium apple, thinly sliced, on top of the browned pork chops in the skillet.
  8. Pour the sauce evenly over the pork chops and apples.
  9. Cover the skillet and bake for 45 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
  10. While the pork chops bake, prepare the rice: In a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, combine 1 cup long-grain rice, 2 cups chicken broth, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  11. Bake the uncovered rice alongside the pork chops for the last 30 minutes of the pork chop cooking time, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
