Steps
The Ultimate Sear
Pat the pork chops completely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
Season both sides of the pork chops generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over high heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until a gorgeous golden-brown crust forms.
Build the Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and broth until smooth.
Slow Cook
Arrange the seared pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Pour the glaze mixture completely over the top of the chops.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours (or HIGH for 2–3 hours) until the meat is incredibly tender.
Thicken the Gravy
Carefully remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and set aside.
Pour the remaining liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan.
Simmer the liquid over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until it reduces into a thick, glossy, caramelized sauce.
Garnish & Serve
Return the chops to the slow cooker and spoon the velvety glaze heavily over the top so it clings perfectly to the meat.
Scatter a few fresh sprigs of thyme across the top for garnish.
Serve piping hot over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
For the best results, ensure the pork chops are patted very dry before searing to achieve a deep crust. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the extra glaze.
