Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork chops for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onion. Cook for about 5 minutes or until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in 1/2 cup of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 8

In a slow cooker or a large pot, combine the remaining chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir to mix.

Step 9

Transfer the seared pork chops and the onion mixture into the slow cooker or pot.

Step 10

Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours (or on high for 1.5 hours if using a slow cooker) until the pork chops are fork-tender.

Step 11

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Serve the pork chops with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired.

Step 13

Pair with mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
