Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in pork chops 1.5 inches thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or 0.5 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prep the pork: Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the meat: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Layer the slow cooker: Place sliced onions on the bottom of the slow cooker. Arrange seared pork chops on top.
  4. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, and paprika. Pour mixture over the pork chops.
  5. Cook on low: Cover and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours until pork reaches 145°F internal temperature and is tender.
  6. Optional thickening: For a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 3 tablespoons cold water. Stir into the sauce and simmer 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve: Plate pork chops, spoon sauce over top, and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs. Serve with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
