These Pork Chops are so Tender... No Need for a Knife to Eat Them!

The taste of caramelized onions mixed with that of fresh pork, it's so good!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick)
• Salt and black pepper
• Brown sugar (optional)
• 2 knobs of butter
• 1-2 large onions, sliced (about 3 cups)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup chicken broth
• ¼ cup apple cider
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 - 3 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water

PREPARATION

• Season the chops with salt and pepper and sear them in a buttered hot pan on both sides. Place in the slow cooker.
• Add butter to the pan and add the onions. Cook until they begin to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add herbs, chicken broth, apple cider, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce to deglaze.
• Be sure to scrape up the golden bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the cooking liquid and onions over the pork chops in the slow cooker.
• Cook for 4 to 5 hours on low or 2 to 3 hours on high intensity.
• Remove the cooked pork chops from the slow cooker and place them on a plate.
• Whisk the cornstarch and water mixture into the cooking liquid.
• Return the chops to the slow cooker and cook until the sauce is thick and the chops are tender, about 30 to 60 minutes on high intensity.
