Here’s a simple and flavorful recipe for Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops—tender, juicy, and perfect for an easy dinner.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium works well)
- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- Optional: 1 teaspoon ginger for extra flavor, chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce
- In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic (add ginger if using).
- Place pork chops in the slow cooker
- Arrange chops in a single layer. Pour the honey-garlic mixture over them.
- Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
- Optional: Thicken the sauce
- Remove chops and stir the sauce. Mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1–2 tablespoons water and stir into the sauce. Cook on high for 10–15 minutes to thicken.
- Serve
- Pour the sauce over the chops and garnish with green onions if desired. Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
Tips
- Don’t overcook: Even in the slow cooker, pork chops can dry out if left too long.
- Add vegetables: Carrots, bell peppers, or broccoli can cook in the slow cooker alongside the pork chops.
