Step 1: Season the Pork Chops
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Step 2: Sear the Pork Chops
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 3: Add to Slow Cooker
Place pork chops in the slow cooker. Add butter, minced garlic, and chicken broth.
Step 4: Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until pork chops are tender.
Step 5: Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
Mix cornstarch with cold water. Stir into the slow cooker during the last 20 minutes for a thicker gravy.
Step 6: Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
