Savory Slow Cooker Pork Chops 🍽️🐖

This mouthwatering slow cooker recipe is a game changer for busy weeknights! The pork chops become incredibly tender and infused with flavor while cooking slowly, leaving you with a delicious meal that practically cooks itself.

Ingredients

For the seasoned flour

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper blend
• 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt

For the pork chops

• 4 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth

Instructions

1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup of the flour, ground mustard, garlic pepper blend, and seasoned salt.

🥡 Using a bag to coat your pork chops keeps cleanup easy and ensures every chop is evenly coated.

2. Add the pork chops to the bag, one at a time, and shake well to coat each chop in the seasoned flour.

3. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

⚠️ Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet; work in batches if necessary to get that nice golden crust!

4. Transfer the browned pork chops to a 5-quart slow cooker.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and the chicken broth until smooth. Pour this mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker.

6. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

7. Remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and keep warm on a serving plate. Whisk the cooking liquid until smooth and serve it alongside the chops.
