These Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops couldn’t get any easier, they’re so delicious and tender, they simply melt in your mouth! You can guarantee this will be a dinner your whole family will love.
You won’t believe how easy and delicious these Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops are!!!
I have been planning out the week’s menu but I haven’t been in the mood to cook big and elaborate meals. All I want is a quick and simple dinner and there is nothing simpler than a slow cooker meal.
I’m always searching for new ways to prepare pork chops, but this is one I go back to time and time again.
These Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops are unbelievably tender and flavorful. I love this recipe. The prep time is almost zero. So, simple to make and really these pork chops are an ideal dinner to make after a busy workday.
Are you ready for how incredibly easy this is?
First, season the pork chops (I used thick cut) and add them to the slow cooker. Boneless or bone-in; chicken will work with this recipe too! Then, mix all the other ingredients (less the cornstarch) and pour in over the pork chops.
Now it’s time to turn on that slow cooker, and let it work its magic!
Final result?
Beautiful, thick cut, juicy pork chops.
The combination of flavors in this recipe is absolutely amazing!
Serve them with some mashed potatoes or your favorite salad.
Happy Cooking!!!

Hi. I tried to do in the oven on slow cooking option,after 3 hours they are not ready yet. I turned on higher temperature to finish cooking them. Hope they will get tasty. Thanks for the receipt.
Hello Tatiana! Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
My family loved it , especially mum on mothers day. Perfect !
Hello Katie! So glad everyone enjoyed this recipe. Thanks so much for your feedback and for trying my recipe.
Can you use another broth in stead of vegetable
Hello Denise! Yes, you can use chicken or meat broth. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
OMG! This is going to be an absolute staple in our house now. Followed the recipe but used center cut boneless pork chops. Cooked full 3 hours. Super tender and the sauce….OMG the sauce is beyond amazing! I need a straw!
Hello Tina! Wow, what a compliment! I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it. Thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know.
This slow cooker pork chop recipe is wonderful! I had four bone-in large loin pork chops and was looking for a recipe that included honey since my husband and I raise honeybees. This recipe seemed easy to throw together and didn’t take all day to cook! I did let it cook about an hour longer on low because it didn’t seem done enough at 2 1/2 hours – but we had time to do that and it turned out perfectly. I had plenty of sauce and they were fork tender. Served with mashed potatoes, kernel corn and warm biscuits with butter and honey and it was a perfect meal! My husband remarked that I should make this again and that was a high compliment coming from him! I will definitely make this again and even serve it to guests in the future. Great recipe!! Thank you!!
Hello Jennifer! Thanks for trying this recipe. I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed it!!!
Made this today. My children are home from school and generally do not like pork chops, but this is a hit. I doctored the recipe a bit. Added thinly sliced onion, baby red and yellow peppers, some ginger, orange peel, and red pepper flakes. Will definitely make this again. Less than two hours to cook the chops to tender. Whoever asked what would go with it…cilantro rice with sauteed green beans for us.
Hello Leigh! Thanks for trying this recipe. I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it!!!
Amazing! I added a piece of yellow bell pepper because I didn’t want it ruin in the veggie bin. I will make this again and again!
Hello Linda!! I am very happy you liked this recipe. I make it for dinner all the time. Thanks for taking the time to let me know. 🙂
I made these chops this week and they were delicious. The glaze turned out nice and thick and the flavor was outstanding. The glaze had thickened up on it’s own while cooking I don’t think I really needed the added starch but used it anyway. I used center cut, boneless chops because that’s what I had on hand. I brined them for 2 hours I usually brine my chops overnight or at least 4 – 6 hours but I only had time for 2 hours. So not as tender as I would prefer but tender enough and absolutely delicious. I also used ACV in place of rice vinegar because I had that on hand and I used coconut aminos is place of the soy sauce because I don’t eat soy. I used tapioca starch in place of corn starch because I had it. I used a Repunzel organic vegetable bullion cube to make the vegetable broth. I stored the left over chops in the glaze and just popped them in the oven the next day and they turned out great. Thanks so much for this recipe.
Hello Theresa! I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe. I am taking notes about your substitutions to try next time. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!🙂
I made this tonight with a pork scotch roast cut into thick steaks (I seared them first) and it turned out great. didn’t bother thicken the sauce, served with mash and veggies. Delicious!
mmmm…It sounds delicious, Holly! I will try your version next time. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!🙂
I’m making this tonight. I’ve made it once before, and we loved it. It’s sooo good… I can’t remember if I posted about this the last time. If not, here it is. 🙂
We always have minced garlic in our fridge, so I use that instead of cloves. One clove equals one tsp of minced garlic.
We’re out of rice wine vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar. A few sites said that’s a better substitute than other vinegars, like white wine vinegar.
We never have veggie broth, so I use chicken broth instead.
Because my crockpot is small, I have to add a bit more broth to cover the porkchops. I may not have had to do that last time because the chops were smaller. We got pretty big ones this time. They were on sale.
I will say that the sauce never thickens like it’s supposed to. Idk why. It’s not dark like in the picture, and it’s watery. However, it tastes amazing. It’s good on mashed potatoes, too. I like to serve this with mashed potatoes and corn (Or another veggie).
Hello Abra! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!🙂
Hello, I am prepping this just now for tonight’s dinner, I’m just unsure about what sides to serve with this. Can anyone recommend anything please 🙂
Hello Alice! Thanks for your interest in my recipe. My family’s fave is mashed potatoes.
Don’t usually cook with pork, so excited to try this one! Also a number of recipes recommend to sear the meat before putting it in the crock pot, and I’m using some thinner cuts. Wod searing it help hold the juices in more or just make it over cooked in the slow cooker?
Hello Kendra! Searing the pork chops will help to keep them moist and will add more flavor so if you have the time to do it please do. Thanks for your interest in my recipe.
Do you think if you use red wine vinegar instead it will taste okay?
Hello Andrea! Thanks so much for your interest in my recipe. Yes, it will work fine.
hello, Oriana your recipe is very good, i try it was so wonderful every body like my food thanks so much God bless u
Hello Ola! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!🙂
hi, i see on other recipes to cook on low for 6 hours and yours is 2-3? why is that..thanks:)
Hello Sally! Thanks for your interest in my recipe. After testing several times I found out that 2-3 hours is more than enough time. The more you cook the pork chops the more dry and tough they will be.
Thought the chops were tasty but I was expecting a red-er, thicker sauce from your pictures so I served with rice and stir fried veggies…. but I guess I was imagining more of a sweet and sour sauce…. but I guess there really wasn’t any red ingredients in the recipe … picture was a bit misleadingly
Hello Heather! I am sorry the sauce wasn’t what you expected. I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it though. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!🙂
My kids and I do not eat pork very often as they are not fans of it. But I decided to try this recipe. I added a 1/2 tsp of Wasabi dry powder.
The sauce did not thicken up as I would have liked. BUT my kids really enjoyed it.
We did have an idea….with the leftovers, we are going to slice into thin pieces and let them completely soak in the juice overnight…then tomorrow we can add the meat to quesadillas OR broiled cheese and pork sandwiches.
This was amazing!!!! Thank you!
Hello Moméof2! I’m so happy you enjoyed it and thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
Hi, I am cooking these now but only had thinner chops and didn’t see that you suggested thick cut. Any suggestions so they don’t come out tough? I did double the liquids because we like sauce.
Hello Christine! No worries, they will be great. I would check for doneness 30 minutes before the time is over. Thanks so much for your interest in my recipe ?
I kept my eye on them and I have to say my husband and I LOVED them! This is a keeper recipe for sure! Glad I found it!
Hello Christine! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
Hi , I am planning to make this recipe but I only have 4 thick pork chops. Would the same portion of ingredients on this webpage work or how much of each ingredient should I go down on?
Thank you , I’m very interested in trying this out.
Hello Vanessa! Thanks so much for your interest in my recipe. Yes, you can use the same portions. You might end up with a bit more sauce but the sauce is so yummy that you won’t regret it. Cheers!
My husband tasked me with cooking the pork chops tonight. Which is usually not my forte. Will give this a whirl!
Hello Jacky!! This recipe is easy to make and so delicious … you’ll love it. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it. ?
I found your recipe through a random
Google search when I typed in “porkcop recipe”. DELISH! It is a rare occurrence when I have the exact listed ingredients for the recipes already on hand in the pantry and fridge. My chops turned out perfectly using my slow cooker on low for 150 minutes. Very little prep time required. Thank you for posting.
Hello DLGinOr! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!?
I second this! Great comment. I rarely find a quick and tasty new recipe (when my schedule has to change and my day no longer includes being home at meal time for my family) and ALL of the necessary ingredients are already in my pantry and do not include additional “processed” foods as a means for the required ingredients. Thank you for posting this recipe! I Googled slow cooker pork chops and this post was one of the responses.
Hello Msria! I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!🙂
Thank you, Oriana! It was delicious!
Hello Kate! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Can frozen chops be used?
Hello Stacie! It’s not recommended to cook frozen meat in a slow cooker, as there’s the risk of harmful bacteria contaminating the meat before it reaches a safe temperature. Hope this help. Thanks for your interest in my recipe.
i”m cooking this in my crock pot right now. It doesn’t look like there will be enough of the sauce.
Terrible. Sauce was bitter. Will not make again.
Hello Carol! I am sorry this recipe didn’t work for you. Thanks for trying my recipe though.
Hi love this idea!! Just wondering if you put them in frozen how long would you cook them for?
Hello Nikki! I don’t recommend cooking frozen meats in the slow cooker because slow cookers don’t reliably get frozen meat up to a safe temperature quickly enough, which opens the door for bacteria to flourish. Hope this helps.
Maybe you did something wrong? This was amazing – followed recipe to the letter.
Hello Lisa! Thank you so much for trying my recipe, and I’m SO GLAD you enjoyed it!!
Hi. If I were to double the quantities, how much time should I cook them?
Hello Michelle, I would cook them for 30-45 minutes longer, or until fork-tender. Thanks for your interest in my recipe.
At the top of the recipe it says cook time is 5 hours but below it says 2 to 3 hours. Which is it? I’d like to make them tomorrow.
Hello Collen, Sorry for the confusion! The cooking time is 2-3 hours in LOW, or until fork-tender. Thanks for your interest in my recipe ????
Thanks. Making them tonight!
I made these pork chops, and while the flavors were delicious, the chops were a little tough.
Did they need to cook longer?
Hello! I am glad you like this recipe. Make sure to use thick cut pork loin chops otherwise it might turn out dry and tough. I like to use thick pork loin chops (with bone) best. Thanks for stopping by.
If loin chops with the bone work best, why do all the pictures appear to be of boneless chops?
Hello Priscilla! I have tested this recipes multiples times but I don’t take photos every time. I hope that clarifies your question.
I made the honey pork chops but did them in the power pot. I am new to the pot but they came out very yummy. I think I over cooked them just a little but I did not get any complaints from the man. His comment was that they were good.
If you could give me a time for the pressure cooker I would appreciate it. we will be making these again!
Hello Donna! For the pressure cooker, cook the pork chops for 8-10 minutes. Thanks for trying my recipe.
Honey garlic pork chops? Damn, I’m gonna have to try this myself. It must be sooo delicious! I don’t use my slow cooker that much, so it’s going to be a fun experience =)
