INGREDIENTS

For the Pork Chops:

  • 4-6 pork chops (1-inch thick, bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil or butter (optional, for searing)

For the Sauce:

  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temp.
  • 1 cup heavy cream use separately
  • 1½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water for the cornstarch slurry
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Mix garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pat pork chops dry and rub seasoning all over both sides. Optional: Sear chops in hot oil for 2-3 minutes per side for extra flavor.
  • Place pork chops in the crockpot. Whisk together minced garlic, chicken broth, minced garlic, cubed butter, dried parsley, softened cubed cream cheese, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, freshly grated parmesan cheese, some red pepper flakes (optional), in a mixing jar and then simply pour over the chops.
    (you don't have to whisk and melt the butter and cream cheese cubes, just mix lightly and let them melt away in the crockpot as it gets cooked, very gradually)
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours until pork reaches 145°F and is fork-tender.
  • Remove pork chops and set aside covered. Turn crockpot to HIGH. Stir in some more heavy cream and parmesan cheese.
  • Mix cornstarch with water until smooth, whisk into cooking sauce. Cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
  • Return pork chops to crockpot, spoon sauce over top, and warm through for 5-10 minutes. Serve with extra parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
