How to Make Slow Cooker Garlic Pork Chops
Step 1: Prepare the Pork Chops
Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and spices. For extra flavor, sear them in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until golden (optional but recommended).
Step 2: Layer the Ingredients
Place potatoes at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add onions and garlic, then place pork chops on top.
Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce
Whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Pour evenly over the pork and potatoes.
Step 4: Slow Cook
- Cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or
- Cook on HIGH for 2–3 hours
The pork should be tender and reach a safe internal temperature, while the potatoes become soft and flavorful.
Step 5: Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
If needed, mix flour with water and stir into the sauce. Cook for an additional 10–15 minutes until thickened.
Step 6: Serve
Spoon the creamy garlic sauce over pork chops and potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor.
