Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Transfer the pork chops and the onion mixture to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 3 hours or until the pork chops are fall-apart tender.
Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and keep warm.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry.
Pour the slurry into the slow cooker and stir to thicken the sauce. Cook on HIGH for 5-10 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Return the pork chops to the slow cooker to coat them in the gravy.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
