Cooking Time

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 6 hours
• Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes

Serving Size

• Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 bell peppers (1 red and 1 green), sliced into strips

Directions

1. Season the Pork Chops: Rub both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
2. Brown the Pork Chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer pork chops to the slow cooker.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add onion and garlic, and sauté until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4. Deglaze and Combine: Pour chicken broth into the skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and add a bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then pour over the pork chops in the slow cooker.
5. Add Bell Peppers and Cook: Add the strips of bell peppers on top of the pork chops. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, until the pork chops are tender and the flavors are well-blended.
6. Serve: Discard the bay leaf. Serve the pork chops with the cooked bell peppers and sauce.
