If you've never experienced crock pot pork chops, now is your opportunity to give them a try! The pork comes out fork tender and the sauce has just a handful of ingredients, yet is complex in flavor.

Chicken is a staple for crock pot cooking, but did you know that pork chops are also a perfect protein for the slow cooker? These honey garlic pork chops come out so tender and flavorful that they'll be sure to find a place on your regular dinner menu rotation.

How to make honey garlic pork chops

For this recipe you'll want to use thick cut boneless pork chops. If you use a thin pork chop, you should reduce the cooking time so that they don't dry out. My pork chops were about 1 1/2 inches thick. I prefer to brown my pork chops before I add them to the slow cooker, it just adds so much more flavor. If you're in a hurry you can skip that step and the chops will still be delicious.

The sauce is made with ketchup, soy sauce, honey and garlic. At the end of the cooking process, a little cornstarch gets added to thicken the sauce. Be sure to serve your honey garlic pork chops over mashed potatoes or with rice or bread to soak up that amazing sauce!

I add a little chopped parsley at the end for a fresh flavor. If you don't have parsley on hand, you can omit it, or substitute sliced green onions.

Not a pork fan? You can make this recipe with chicken instead! Simply substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs for the pork chops.
