Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 pounds pork loin chops
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small yellow onion, diced (about 1/4 cup)
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper
- Thyme powder
- Mustard powder
- 1 cup Chicken Broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1 Tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon dried or 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried or 1 Tablespoon fresh basil
Instructions
- Trim off most visible fat on the pork chops. Pat with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper, thyme, and mustard.
- In a large skillet over medium high heat melt butter with olive oil.
- Add onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon remove garlic and onions to the bottom of the crockpot bowl, trying to leave most of the oil and butter in the pan.
- Brown the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side and then put them in the crockpot over the onions and garlic in a single layer.
- Carefully add the chicken broth around the pork chops. I try to keep it from washing away the browning bits on top.
- The broth will not cover the chops, just surround them.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Remove pork chops and cover to keep warm.
- Add cream or half and half to the crockpot and whisk to incorporate. To thicken sauce add one tablespoon mixed with a small amount of cold water 9about 1/4 cup) At this point you can turn the crockpot on high for 20 minutes or pour it into a small saucepan to finish it. On the stovetop cook until it boils for 2-3 minutes and reaches the desired consistency.
- Add additional salt and pepper to taste and stir in the dried or fresh herbs.
- Pour over pork chops and garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
