Instructions:
-
Preparation: Start by greasing the crock pot generously to prevent any sticking, which makes for an easier cleanup later on.
-
Layering Ingredients: In the crock pot, layer the minute rice evenly on the bottom. Place the boneless pork chops on top of the rice, ensuring they cover the surface well.
-
Adding Liquids and Veggies: Pour the chicken broth over the layered rice and pork chops, ensuring even distribution. Next, add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and sprinkle garlic powder over the top for enhanced flavor.
-
Cooking: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for approximately 8 hours, or for a quicker option, set it on high for around 4 hours. The slow cooking allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in tender pork and perfectly cooked rice.
-
Oven Alternative: If you prefer, this dish can also be prepared in the oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), then combine the ingredients as above in a covered baking dish. Bake for 1 to 2 hours, checking periodically for doneness.
-
Serving: Once done, serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors that make this dish a family favorite.
