Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: sautéed garlic mushrooms (Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms Crockpot)
Instructions
- Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sear each pork chop for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the pork in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Optional: serve with mashed potatoes, rice, steamed vegetables, or top with sautéed garlic mushrooms. For a crispy finish, broil the pork chops for 2-3 minutes.
Notes
- If using bone-in pork chops, increase cooking time slightly to ensure desired tenderness.
- To thicken the sauce further, stir in a mixture of 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
- For added flavor, sprinkle more Parmesan or fresh herbs before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
