Instructions

Prepare the Pork Chops

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

Pro tip: Let the seasoned chops rest for a few minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Brown the Pork Chops

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.

Pro tip: This step adds flavour and seals in juices, enhancing the final dish.

Prepare the Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, minced garlic, and thyme.

Pro tip: Adjust the amount of mustard to your taste preference.

Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker

Place the browned pork chops in the slow cooker. Pour the mustard sauce over the chops, ensuring they are well covered.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to scrape any bits from the skillet into the slow cooker for extra flavour.

Cook in Slow Cooker

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for safety.

Serve

Once cooked, remove pork chops from the slow cooker and serve with sauce ladled over the top.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley for added freshness.
