Tags: Chops, Garlic, Lime, Pork
INGREDIENTS
- 2cupsbasmati rice
- 2limes, juice and zest of
- 3 1/2cupschicken broth(or enough to make 4 cups of liquid with the lime juice)
- 3fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 3tablespoonsolive oil
- 1/4cupflour
- 2tablespoonsgarlic salt
- 1tablespoonlemon pepper seasoning
- 6 (4 ounce)boneless pork chops
- ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Put rice in the bottom of a 5 quart crockpot.Turn heat to low.
- Juice and zest limes, place both into a 4 cup measuring cup.Add chicken broth to make 4 cups of liquid.Stir in minced garlic.
- Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet.While that heats, mix flour, garlic salt and lemon pepper in a flat bottom bowl.When oil is close to smoking, quickly dredge 3 chops in the flour mixture and place in pan.Wait for sear, flip, wait for sear, remove to plate and repeat with another tablespoon of olive oil and remaining chops.Arrange chops on top of rice in crockpot.
- Add remaining oil to skillet, heat up, and add remaining flour mixture.Stir quickly with a whisk until mixture is brown (30 seconds to a minute) and add lime juice and chicken broth all at once.Whisk until mixture starts to thicken.Pour over chops and add some black pepper.
- Cover, let cook for 5-6 hours or until meat is done.
- I put the meat on top of the rice since these chops have a tendency to get so tender that they fall apart, and I’m never quite sure when the hubby will be home for dinner so this is a good way to keep the meat from getting overdone too easily.
- I like to add a bit of sharp cheddar to my rice when serving.

Tags: Chicken, Honey, Mustard, Packets
INGREDIENTS
- 8tablespoonshoney mustard, divided
- 4boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- garlic salt(to taste)
- fresh ground black pepper(to taste)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Center each chicken breast on a sheet of 12×12-inch foil with non-stick side toward food. Pour 2 tablespoons of mustard evenly over each chicken breast.Season with the garlic salt and pepper to taste.
- Now it’s time to make the little packets.Take your first piece of foil, and bring up its sides, double folding its top and ends to seal.Repeat until the packets are all done.Don’t forget to leave a little room inside each packet for heat circulation inside.
- To bake, place the packets on a cookie sheet, and bake anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes–just keep checking until the chicken is tender and cooked all the way through.If you have used previously frozen chicken breasts, there will be a lot of liquid in the packet, so be careful when opening!That’s it.You’re done.
