Pork Chops with Green Beans & Rice

6 Tbsp. KRAFT Italian Dressing
2 Tbsp. apricot jam or preserves
4 boneless pork chops (about 1 lb.)
1-1/2 cups instant white rice, uncooked
2 cups green beans, trimmed (I just use 1 can of whole green beans)
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) chicken broth


Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Mix dressing and jam with wire whisk until well blended. Brush 2 Tbsp. dressing mixture on chops. Let stand 10 min.

Meanwhile, place rice in center of sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil (do not use cheap foil for this or you will be sorry!); top with beans. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. dressing mixture. Bring up foil sides to form a bowl. Gradually pour chicken broth and remaining 2 Tbsp. dressing mixture over beans. Double fold top ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.

Place chops and foil packet on grate of grill. Grill packet 15 min. or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Let stand 5 min. Grill chops 20 min. or until cooked through. To complete your meal, grill your favorite fruit, peaches and pineapples are great choices, just until heated through and browned.
