   • Start by preheating your grill or oven to the desired temperature (375°F for the oven or medium-high heat for the grill).
   • Cut four pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 18 x 12 inches.
   • Spray the inside of each foil packet with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Prepare Rice Mixture:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine rice, chicken broth, and 1 tablespoon of Mexican seasoning.
   • Let it rest for about 5 minutes until the broth is absorbed by the rice.
   • Stir in the whole kernel corn, diced bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Set aside.

3. Season Pork Chops:

   • Sprinkle each pork chop with 1/2 teaspoon of Mexican seasoning on both sides.

4. Assemble Packets:

   • Place each seasoned pork chop in the center of a foil packet.
   • Divide the rice mixture evenly among the packets, placing it on top of each pork chop.

5. Seal and Cook:

   • Seal the foil packets by folding over the edges, creating a tight seal.
   • Make sure to leave a bit of room for air circulation within the packets.
   • Grill the packets for 15 to 25 minutes or until the pork is slightly pink in the center.
   • Alternatively, you can bake them in a 375°F oven for about 25 minutes until the pork is cooked to perfection.

6. Serve and Enjoy!:

   • Once done, carefully remove the packets from the grill or oven.
   • To serve, place a packet on each plate and make a large “X” in the center to release the steam.
   • Spoon a generous amount of salsa over each pork chop and rice mixture.
   • Serve hot and enjoy the mouthwatering flavors of the Southwest right at your table!
