Cajun Pork Chop, Red Beans and Rice Foil Packs
- Prep Time 25 min
- Total 45 min
- Servings 4
- Ingredients 10
Ingredients
- 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
- 3/4 cup Progresso™ reduced sodium chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 cup uncooked instant white rice
- 1 can (19 oz) Progresso™ red kidney beans, drained, rinsed
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced (1 cup)
- 6 green onions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
- 4 boneless pork chops (5 to 7 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
-
Step1Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with cooking spray.
-
Step2In large bowl, mix tomatoes, chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning and the hot sauce. Add instant rice; stir, and let stand about 8 minutes or until most of liquid is absorbed. Stir in beans, bell pepper and green onion whites.
-
Step3Meanwhile, coat pork chops with melted butter. Rub in remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning. Place pork chop on center of each sheet of foil. Dividing evenly, spoon rice and vegetable mixture around each pork chop. Divide any remaining soaking liquid over tops of pork chops.
-
Step4Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
-
Step5Place packs on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes. Rotate packs 1/2 turn; cook 7 to 10 minutes longer or until pork is no longer pink and meat thermometer inserted in center reads at least 145°F. Remove packs from grill; cut large X across top of each pack. Carefully fold back foil, and garnish with green onion greens.
-
Step6To make in oven, place packs on cookie sheet. Bake at 375°F 30 to 35 minutes or until pork is no longer pink and meat thermometer inserted in center reads at least 145°F. Garnish with green onion greens.
