Slow Cooker Garlic Butter Pork Chops

Ingredients

Pork Chops

• 4 thick-cut bone-in pork chops
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder

Garlic Butter Sauce

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 5–6 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp dried rosemary
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

These ingredients and the slow-cooker method are consistent with published garlic-butter pork chop recipes.

Instructions

1. Season the pork: Pat the pork chops dry. Mix salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub over both sides.
2. Sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
3. Make the sauce: Mix melted butter, minced garlic, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
4. Slow cook: Place the pork chops in the slow cooker and pour the garlic-butter mixture over them.
5. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours. Pork should reach at least 145°F (63°C) internally.
6. Finish: Remove the chops and spoon the buttery garlic sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley.
7. Optional thicker sauce: Simmer the cooking liquid in a saucepan and add 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp cold water. Stir until glossy and slightly thickened.
