Iron Skillet (Cook It in Cast Iron)
(1) Cut 2 slits about 2 inches apart through fat on edges of each pork chop. Pat chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add oil and heat until just smoking. Place chops in skillet and cook until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes; transfer to plate.
(2) Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Add chorizo, bell pepper, and onion and cook over medium heat until vegetables are softened, about minutes. Stir in rice, garlic, thyme, and Cajun seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth, scraping up an browned bits, and bring to simmer.
(3) Nestle chops browned side up onto skillet along with any accumulated juices. Reduce heat to gentle simmer, cover, and cook until por registers 145 degrees, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer chops to serving platter, brushing any rice that sticks to pork back into skillet, and tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let chops rest while finishing rice.
(4) Cover skillet and continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve chops with rice.
Notes: to keep thin-cut pork chops from buckling or curling as they cook, cut 2 small slits about 2 inches apart into the fat and connective tissue on the edges of each chop.
