What You Need

1/4 cup Kraft Classic Herb Dressing

2 Tbsp. Kraft Pure Apricot Jam

4 bone-in pork loin centre chops (1 lb./450 g)

1-1/2 cups instant white rice, uncooked

1/2 lb. (225 g) fresh green beans, trimmed

1-1/2 cups 25%-less-sodium chicken broth

Make It

HEAT barbecue to medium-high heat.

WHISK dressing and jam until well blended; brush 2 Tbsp. onto chops. Let stand 10 min.

MEANWHILE, place rice in centre of sheet of heavy-duty foil; top with beans. Bring up foil sides to form a bowl. Gradually pour broth and remaining dressing mixture over beans. Double fold top and ends to make packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.

PLACE chops and foil packet on barbecue grate. Grill 20 min. or until chops are done (160ºF) and most of the liquid in foil packet is absorbed, removing packet from barbecue after 15 min.

Make Ahead

Pork chops can be brushed with dressing mixture and refrigerated overnight before grilling as directed.

Cooking Know-How

To ensure your pork is done but not overcooked, grill until just a hint of pink remains (160°F). Transfer to plate, cover with foil. Let stand 5 min. before serving.

Use Your Barbecue

For a restaurant touch, add grill marks to your grilled meat. Just place the food diagonally across the hot oiled barbecue grates and cook until meat is done. For a special touch, rotate the food a quarter turn halfway through the grilling time on each side to create criss-crossed grill marks.

Not bad at all. I thought it was ok but my husband loved it. I used basmati rice (just used the normal measurements for rice and chicken stock that I would if I was making it on the stove) and it worked. I had a heck of a time with the foil though and because of that I'm not sure I'd make it again on the BBQ. I'd do it on the stove before I'd do it on the 'cue again.

Yes, the rice and veggies were very flavorful with this dish. Unfortunately we couldn't try it with the Classic Herb dressing as we couldn't find it at any of the major grocery stores in our area here in Calgary. So we improvised with Golden Italian and it was still wonderful. I do need to read up on my grilling meat tips so I don't dry out the pork chops again. Overall, was a convenient, tasteful and quick recipe! ENJOY!

I made this last night for dinner and was quite happy with the results. The rice and green beans were by far the best part of this recipe. The flavour was absolutely fantastic. The pork chops were good too, but I found they didn't hold as much flavour as the rice and beans did. I'll be making this again.

The rice turns out perfectly and so flavourful with a few added spices. Easy way to keep the kitchen cool on a summer evening.

Amazing!! The rice and green beans is a great BBQ alternative to baked potatos and corn. I can't believe how easy it was and how good it came out. The pork was great too but I can't rave enough about the rice and beans!
