Ingredients

  • 6 bone-in, thick-cut pork chops (see notes)
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) cornstarch
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Add the vegetable oil to a large skillet on medium-high heat, brown the pork chops on both sides for 2-3 minutes, or until they are browned well. Then, add them to the slow cooker.
  • Mix fresh garlic, honey, vegetable broth, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker and cover.
  • Cook on LOW heat setting for 6 hours, or until fork-tender. Remove pork chops from the slow cooker, and place them on a plate; cover to keep warm.
  • In a small bowl, stir cornstarch and two tablespoons of the cooking liquid until well blended; stir into sauce in the slow cooker. Return the pork chops to the pot. Cook on HIGH heat setting for 10 - 15 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Serve pork chops with the sauce and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

 
STORE: Store leftovers in a sealed food storage container in the refrigerator for 3 - 4 days.
FREEZE: Place them in an airtight freezer container and freeze them for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, let thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
RECIPE TIPS:
  • The most tender results come from a bone-in thicker (approx. 3/4″) chop with nice marbling throughout.
  • Sear the pork chops first. Although it’s an optional extra step, searing the pork chops before adding them to the slow cooker is a must! This extra step helps to caramelize the exterior, adding a flavorful brown crust that you can’t get just from slow cooking on its own.
  • If the chops aren’t tender (and you’ve used the recommended type), they likely need more time.
