Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops
Pork chops have a reputation for drying out easily, but cooking them low and slow changes everything. These Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops yield fork-tender meat coated in a sticky, sweet, and savory glaze that tastes like it came straight from a restaurant.
With just a few pantry staples and about 10 minutes of prep, this recipe turns lean pork chops into a melt-in-your-mouth weeknight dinner.
The Secret to Tender Slow Cooker Pork
Because pork chops are quite lean, they can quickly turn tough if overcooked. Two simple techniques make all the difference:
Thick-Cut Chops: Bone-in or boneless chops that are at least 1-inch thick hold up far better during slow cooking without drying out.
The Cornstarch Slurry: Slow cookers lock in moisture, which means sauces won't naturally reduce or thicken on their own. Adding a quick cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes transforms the liquid into a glossy, clingy honey-garlic glaze.
