Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Set aside.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, chicken broth, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Place the seared pork chops in the crock pot. Pour the balsamic mixture over the chops, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 7
To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch and water into a slurry. Pour the sauce from the crock pot into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 8
Drizzle the thickened sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed broccoli.
