- Don’t Peek: This dish is covered with foil while it bakes. Be sure to keep it covered, so it has time to steam under the foil. However, it is okay to lift it up at the end of cooking, so you can check the temperature of the pork.
- Pork Temperature: All raw pork chops should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F as measured with a food thermometer before removing meat from the heat source.

- In the Refrigerator: Stored in the refrigerator, leftovers will last for 3-4 days. Store in an airtight container for the best results!
- To Reheat: Reheat any leftovers in the microwave until warmed through. Add a splash of chicken broth to help moisten the rice if needed. I don’t recommend reheating leftovers in the oven because it will dry out quickly.
