Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the seared pork chops to the crock pot.
Add the sliced onion to the crock pot, spreading it evenly over and around the pork chops.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the pork chops and onions in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.
Once cooking is complete, carefully remove the pork chops and onions from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the thickened sauce over the pork chops and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
