Ingredients
  

4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork Chops: Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Sear the Pork Chops (Optional): In a large skillet over medium-high heat, pour in the olive oil. Once hot, add the seasoned pork chops and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped if you prefer to go straight to the slow cooker.

      Transfer to Slow Cooker: Place the seared or raw pork chops in the slow cooker.

        Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: In the same skillet used for searing (or a separate saucepan), reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape any bits off the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.

          Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs. Continue to stir until the cheese fully melts and the mixture is well combined. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and stir it in, cooking for another minute or two.

            Pour Sauce Over Pork Chops: Carefully pour the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce over the pork chops in the slow cooker.

              Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.

                Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate, spoon over the creamy sauce, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

                  Enjoy: Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables, to soak up the delicious sauce.
