Here’s a simple and flavorful Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Pork Chops recipe—perfectly tender, sweet, and savory.
🥩 Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (for thickening, optional)
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the sauce
- In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Assemble in slow cooker
- Place pork chops in the slow cooker
- Pour the sauce over the chops, making sure they’re coated
3. Cook
- Low heat: 6–7 hours
- High heat: 3–4 hours
4. Optional thickening
- Remove chops and set aside
- Mix cornstarch and water
- Stir into the sauce and cook on high for 10–15 minutes until thickened
- Pour sauce over chops
5. Serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables
💡 Tips for best results:
- Sear chops in a pan before slow cooking for extra flavor (optional)
- Don’t overcook—pork chops stay tender and juicy if cooked low and slow
If you want, I can also give a one-pot version that caramelizes the honey garlic sauce for even richer flavor.
