Crockpot Orange Pork (or Chicken)

Recipe from The Everyday Low-Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook

• 2 T. butter
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/2 t. pepper
• 1 t. dried minced onion
• 2 t. minced garlic
• 2 T. white wine
• 2 T. orange juice
• 1/4 t. chili powder
• 1/4 t. Tabasco sauce (about 2 shakes)
• 2 pounds boneless center-cut pork chops
• 1 navel orange, pierced 12 times and cut in half
• 2 T. chopped fresh chives, optional

1. Grease the slow cooker crock with the butter (leave excess in the crock). Add all remaining ingredients, except the orange and the pork chops, to the crock and stir to combine.
2. Add the chops and stir to coat with the seasoning mixture. Push orange pieces down into the seasoned chops.
3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. When done cooking, garnish with the chopped chives, if desired.
