Here’s a simple, flavorful way to make Pork Chops in a Slow Cooker—tender, juicy, and effortless:
🥩 Slow Cooker Pork Chops
🧾 Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth or stock
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or Worcestershire sauce)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Pork Chops
- Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika
- Optional: Sear in a hot pan with olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side to lock in flavor
2️⃣ Layer in Slow Cooker
- Place sliced onions at the bottom
- Lay pork chops on top
- Sprinkle garlic and herbs
- Pour broth + soy sauce over everything
3️⃣ Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours
- Pork should be tender and easily pierced with a fork
4️⃣ Optional Thickened Gravy
- Remove pork chops
- Pour juices into a small pan
- Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water → add to juices
- Heat until thickened → pour over pork chops
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Mashed potatoes or rice
- Steamed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, or green beans)
- Fresh bread or rolls to soak up the sauce
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Don’t lift the lid while cooking; slow cooker keeps moisture in
- Bone-in chops stay juicier than boneless
- For a slightly sweet flavor, add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to the sauce
