Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon water (optional, for thickening)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
3. Transfer the seared pork chops to the slow cooker.
4. In the same skillet, sauté the garlic for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard (if using). Stir to combine, then pour the sauce over the pork chops in the slow cooker.
5. Cover and cook the Crock Pot Pork Chops on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until the pork is tender.
6. If you’d like a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch and water, then stir it into the sauce. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
7. Garnish the Crock Pot Pork Chops with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!
Notes
Sear the pork chops first to lock in juices and enhance flavor.
Cook on low for tenderness; longer cooking breaks down connective tissues.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
