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
- Season the Pork Chops: Rub both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- 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.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add onion and garlic, and sauté until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Discard the bay leaf. Serve the pork chops with the cooked bell peppers and sauce.
