Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Unsalted chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if using the oven method.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.

Step 3

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and rub both sides evenly with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. If using a Crock Pot, sear the pork chops in a regular skillet.

Step 5

If using the oven method, transfer the seared pork chops directly into the preheated oven in the skillet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

For the Crock Pot method, transfer the seared pork chops to the Crock Pot.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, honey, and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture over the pork chops in the Crock Pot.

Step 8

Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and fully cooked.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the pork chops and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, spoon some of the cooking juices from the Crock Pot over the chops for added flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot alongside your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
