Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker. Place the seared pork chops into the slow cooker on top of the broth.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chops are tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry and heavy cream into the slow cooker.
Continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve the pork chops with the creamy sauce on top. Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.
