Here’s a simple and flavorful way to make pork chops in a slow cooker—tender, juicy, and full of flavor:
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken soup)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil (for browning, optional)
Instructions
- Optional Browning
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown pork chops 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor.
- Layer in Slow Cooker
- Place sliced onions and garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Put the pork chops on top.
- Mix Sauce
- In a bowl, combine chicken broth, cream of mushroom soup, paprika, pepper, salt, and thyme.
- Pour over the pork chops.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- Pork should be tender and fully cooked (internal temp ~145°F / 63°C).
- Serve
- Spoon sauce and onions over the pork chops.
- Perfect with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.
💡 Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle fresh parsley over the chops just before serving. The sauce can also be thickened by removing the lid in the last 30 minutes or stirring in a cornstarch slurry.
