Ingredients
  

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork Chops: Start by seasoning both sides of the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, carefully add the pork chops and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a beautiful golden brown crust. Remove them from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

    Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk all these ingredients together until they form a smooth, well-blended sauce.

      Layer in the Slow Cooker: Begin by laying the sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. This acts as a flavorful bed for the pork chops and helps to prevent them from burning. Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth atop the onions to ensure moisture and flavor throughout the cooking process.

        Add the Pork Chops: Place the seared pork chops on top of the onions, arranging them in a single layer for even cooking. Drizzle the honey mustard sauce generously over the pork chops, making sure they are uniformly coated. Add the remaining chicken broth around the edges of the chops, avoiding direct contact with the sauce on the chops to maintain their flavor.

          Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and select the low setting for 6-7 hours or the high setting for 3-4 hours. The pork chops are done when they are incredibly tender, and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

            Serve: Once cooking is complete, carefully lift the pork chops and onions out of the slow cooker using a slotted spoon. If desired, skim off any excess fat from the sauce, or you can serve it as is for an extra layer of flavor. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness before serving.

              Enjoy: Serve these delectable honey mustard pork chops hot, accompanied by your choice of sides such as creamy mashed potatoes, vibrant steamed vegetables, or a crisp mixed salad to balance the sweet and savory flavors.
