SOUTHWEST PORK PACKETS

4 servings

2 cups uncooked instant rice

1 can (14 ½ oz) chicken broth

1 tbsp Mexican seasoning

1 can (15 oz) whole kernel corn, drained

1 small bell pepper, chopped (½ cup)

4 medium green onions, sliced (¼ cup)

4 pork boneless rib or loin chops, ¾ to 1 inch thick (1 ¼ lbs)

2 tsp Mexican seasoning

Salsa, if desired

Heat oven to 450°. Cut four 18x12-inch sheets of aluminum foil. Spray half of one side of each sheet with cooking spray.  Mix rice, broth and 1 tbsp Mexican seasoning in large bowl; let stand about 5 minutes or until broth is absorbed. Stir in corn, bell pepper and onions.   Sprinkle each pork chop with ½ tsp Mexican seasoning; place in center of sprayed half of foil. Spoon rice mixture over pork. Fold foil over pork and rice so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion. Place packets on large cookie sheet.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until pork is slightly pink in center. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil. Serve with salsa.
