Lightly season both sides of the pork chops with the spice mixture prepared in step 1.
In the crock pot, whisk together the Catalina salad dressing and chicken broth until combined.
Place the seasoned pork chops into the crock pot, ensuring they are well coated with the liquid mixture. Stagger or layer them if needed to fit.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
Once done, carefully remove the pork chops using tongs. Optionally, spoon some sauce from the crock pot over the cooked pork chops for extra flavor when serving.
Serve warm alongside your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
