Great dish. The only thing is that I did not have canned green beans so I used fresh carrots and fresh brocolli. That was a mistake because it did not get done enough. Next time if I use raw vegetables I will try baking with uncooked rice so they will get done. I also doubled the recipe and added some pinto beans instead of chicken since I did not have much chicken on hand. I did not have cream of celery soup so I used cream of chicken instead. And I did not use the mayonnaise. My husband said that there was not enough flavor. Not sure what to do to add more flavor. My kids loved it.

Excellent recipe. I am not the best cook and my husband loved it. My kids would not eat it but then again they do not like porkchops (I think because of the texture). Anyway, I did not have paprika and I tripled the ingredients because I did not use 4 thin porkchops like the recipe called for. I used 3 thick kinda like pork steaks. So I had to cook a little longer until they were not pink. My husband said these porkchops had great flavor. We cooked frozen butter beans with this along with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes. I will definitely fix these porkchops again.

Delicious recipe. We changed the recipe a bit though depending on what we had and our taste preferences. My husband is a very good cook and he does not measure when he cooks. We used a medium onion since we did not have big one on hand. We added more orange zest (about 2 tsp more). My husband put quite a bit of pepper in the mix too. We like garlic so my husband added approx 2 Tbsp garlic. Instead of cooking the onions tender my husband wanted them kinda crisp so he cooked them longer. And the water started cooking out since we cooked them longer so he added approx 2 Tbsp virgin olive oil to finish cooking the onions. We did not have red beans and rice so I used a box of Zatarains dirty rice instead. We did not have a lid for our pan to be able to simmer the rice so my husband ended up having to add water (and add water) until the rice was done enough. And we used thin porkchops so it took them less time to cook. I did not have cilantro so we did not use it. It was kinda spicy and I am guessing it is because my husband added garlic and lots of pepper. But we like our dishes spicy. My husband must have really liked it for him to go back for seconds. He is funny about dishes. They have to taste really good (alot of flavor). And my 1 year old and 2 year old loved it too along with me. As a side dish my husband cut up fresh carrots and cooked them in fresh honey. And he mixed fresh frozen black eyed peas, limas and speckled butter beans and boiled them together for another side dish to go with the porkchops. Worked well since we did not add the beans and rice. Thanks for this great recipe. It will be one we will make again and again.

Oh and with the thin porkchops it took alot less time. My husband cooked this dish along with both our sides in less than 30 minutes. But like I said before he is a good cook.
