Ingredients
Instructions
- Dredge pork chops in a mixture of flour, garlic salt, pepper, and dry mustard.
- Heat oil in a large skillet and brown the pork chops on both sides.
- Transfer the browned chops to a crock-pot.
- Pour the cans of chicken with rice soup over the pork chops in the crock-pot.
- Cover and cook on low for approximately 4 hours or until the pork is tender and flavors meld.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in the flour mixture for a few hours before cooking. If you're out of chicken with rice soup, you can substitute with Savory Chicken Soup or any creamy chicken soup you prefer. For a healthier option, try using less oil or baking the pork chops instead of frying them.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork chops over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Potatoes Elegante (Sour Cream And Cheese Potatoes) for a comforting side. Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork chops and rice soup mixture in a saucepan over low heat or microwave until warmed through. Adding a splash of chicken broth can help keep the dish moist during reheating.
