Ingredients:

– 4 bone-in pork chops
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 onion, sliced
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 2 tablespoons water

Instructions:

1. Start by seasoning the pork chops with garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Make sure to coat both sides evenly for maximum flavor.

2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the pork chops until they achieve a nice golden brown color, about 3-4 minutes per side. This step will lock in the juices and add a delicious caramelization to the meat.

3. Place the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the crock pot. Spread them out evenly to create a fragrant base for the pork chops.

4. Transfer the seared pork chops on top of the onions and garlic in the crock pot.

5. In a bowl, mix together chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the pork chops in the crock pot.

6. Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The slow cooking process will tenderize the pork chops and infuse them with the rich flavors of the broth.

7. Once the pork chops are fully cooked and fork-tender, remove them from the crock pot and set aside. Be careful as they will be very delicate.

8. In a small bowl, create a slurry by mixing cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the liquid in the crock pot to thicken the sauce.

9. Return the pork chops to the crock pot and allow them to soak up the thickened sauce for an additional 15-20 minutes on low heat.

10. Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. They pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a side of buttery pasta.

Indulge in the tender and flavorful Pork Chop in Crock Pot for a comforting meal that brings effortless elegance to your dining table.
