Add cornstarch to chicken broth and stir until smooth. Add this cornstarch mixture to pan and simmer for 5 minutes.

While sauce is simmering add lime juice, salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy skillet.

When ingredients in skillet are hot, add pork chops.
Cook chops about 4 minutes on each side or until chops are done; add sauce.

Simmer all ingredients until heated thoroughly and serve over plantain mash, potatoes or rice.

Plantains
Peel plantains by running a knife down vertically. Cut into 2 inch pieces; place in large pot. Cover completely with water. Bring to a boil and cook approximately 30 minutes until very soft. Drain and place cooked plantains in food processor with garlic, lime juice and 1/2 cup of chicken stock (add more stock for desired consistency), salt and pepper. Puree quickly as not to overwork the plantains (they will become starchy).
