Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Season and Sear: Season pork chops with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Sear the pork chops for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, and thyme. Stir well and simmer for a couple of minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
- Slow Cook: Transfer seared pork chops to the slow cooker. Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the top. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until tender.
- (Optional) Thicken the Sauce: In the last 30 minutes, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir it into the sauce if a thicker consistency is desired.
- Serve: Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Notes
You can use boneless chops but reduce cooking time slightly. Add spinach or mushrooms to the slow cooker for extra flavor and texture. Great for meal prep and leftovers!
