Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 cup Sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.

Step 3

Slice the yellow onion into thin rings and add them to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the onion and mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and fresh thyme leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens slightly.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream to the gravy and stir well to combine. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Place the seared pork chops in the slow cooker. Pour the gravy over the pork chops and top with the sautéed onion and mushroom mixture.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
