Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Dredge the seasoned pork chops in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the pork chops to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Transfer the onions and garlic to the crock pot, spreading them over the pork chops.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and heavy cream. Pour the mixture over the pork chops in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 hours, until the pork chops are tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the cooking liquid in the crock pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the gravy.
Once the cooking time is complete, taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the smothered pork chops hot, topped with the creamy gravy and garnished with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
