★ SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC PORK CHOPS ★

→ HOW TO MAKE THEM

① MIX THE MAGIC SAUCE

In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, chicken broth, garlic, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and onion powder.

② PREPARE THE PORK CHOPS

Pat the pork chops dry. For extra flavor, sear them in a skillet with olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side. This step is optional but adds a lovely golden crust.

③ SLOW COOK TO PERFECTION

Place the pork chops in the slow cooker and pour the honey garlic mixture over them.

Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 3–4 hours, checking early for thinner chops. Cook until the thickest part reaches at least 145°F (63°C), then let the pork rest for 3 minutes.

④ THICKEN THAT DELICIOUS SAUCE

Transfer the pork chops to a plate and keep them warm. Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer.

Mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Whisk it into the simmering sauce and cook for 1–2 minutes, until thick and glossy.

⑤ BRING IT ALL TOGETHER

Spoon the warm honey garlic sauce generously over the pork chops and serve immediately.

★ THE SECRET TO JUICY PORK CHOPS

Pork chops can dry out if they cook too long, especially when they're thin or lean. Check the temperature early, and avoid leaving them in the slow cooker longer than necessary.

The goal? Tender pork, a rich sauce, and not a drop of flavor wasted!
