3 1/2 c chicken broth (or enough to make 4 c of liquid with the lime juice) .
6 (4 oz) boneless pork chops .
3 tbsps olive oil .

3 fresh garlic cloves, minced .
2 c basmati rice .
1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning .
2 tbsps garlic salt .
2 limes, juice & zest of .
ground black pepper
Directions
Step #1 Put rice in the bottom of a 5 quart crockpot.
Step #2 Turn heat to low.
Step #3 Juice & zest limes, place both into a 4 c measuring c.
Step #4 Add chicken broth to make 4 c of liquid.
Step #5 Stir in minced garlic.
Step #6 Heat 1 Tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet.
Step #7 While that heats, mix flour, garlic salt & lemon pepper in a flat bottom bowl.
Step #8 When oil is close to smoking, quickly dredge 3 chops in the flour mixture & place this in pan.
Step #9 Wait for sear, wait for sear, flip, remove to plate & repeat with another tbsp of olive oil & remaining chops.
Step #10 Arrange chops on top of rice in crockpot.
Step #11 Add remaining oil to skillet, heat up, & add in the remaining flour mixture.
Step #12 Stir quickly with a whisk until mixture is brown (30 seconds to a min) & add lime juice & chicken broth all at once.
Step #13 Whisk until mixture starts to thicken.
Step #14 Pour over chops & add some black pepper.
Step #15 Cover up, let cook for 5-6 hrs or until meat is done.
Step #16 I put the meat on top of the rice since these chops have a tendency to get so tender that they fall apart, & 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.
Step #17 I like to add a bit of sharp cheddar to my rice when serving.
