🍴 Serving suggestions

There are a lot of options when it comes to serving these tender pork chops. My favourite way of serving them is with roasted baby potatoes or crispy polenta roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, and slow cooker red cabbage. Stir-fried green beans and roasted Brussels sprouts also work well.

Creamy mashed potato, egg noodles, cauliflower rice, and turmeric rice are other tasty options.

📖 Variations

  • Try using lamb chops instead of pork chops and replace the parsley with freshly chopped mint.
  • Spice up the honey garlic sauce by adding a teaspoon of hot chilli powder.
  • The honey garlic sauce is also great with chicken breasts.
  • Make a creamy sauce instead, using a can of cream of chicken soup or cream of mushroom soup.

🥡 Storage

Store – Leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat – In a microwave until piping hot.

🧊 Suitable for freezing?

The slow-cooked pork chops can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once cooled, place in a freezer-safe container and pour over the sauce, seal with a tightly fitting lid, and place in the freezer. Defrost in the fridge before reheating in the microwave.

❓ FAQS

Do I need to brown the pork chops before slow cooking?

Aesthetically, there may be an argument in favour of browning, but there is no need to brown the chops before placing them in the slow cooker.

How long to cook pork chops in slow cooker?

Pork chops can be cooked on high for 4 hours or on a low setting for 6 hours.

Why are my pork chops tough?

Pork chops are a lean cut of meat, and when cooked on the hob or in a conventional oven, they are relatively quick-cooking and prone to overcooking. The benefit of slow-cooking pork chops is that the trapped steam and heat within the slow cooker help tenderise the chops, making it almost impossible to overcook them.
