This slow cooker 5-ingredient pork chop recipe is one of those cozy, no-fuss meals that feels like a hug at the end of a long day. The light cornstarch coating gives the pork chops a delicate crust and helps thicken the simple sauce as they cook low and slow. It’s the kind of dish that reminds me of the easy, comforting suppers I grew up with in the Midwest—nothing fancy, just good, honest food that fills the house with a warm, savory smell. This is perfect for busy nights when you still want to put a home-cooked meal on the table without hovering over the stove, and it’s mild enough that even picky eaters usually come back for seconds.
These pork chops are wonderful served over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or steamed white rice so that every drop of the sauce has somewhere to go. A simple veggie on the side—like buttered green beans, roasted carrots, or a quick salad—balances out the richness of the meat. If you like a more old-fashioned, meat-and-potatoes plate, add some warm dinner rolls or cornbread to soak up the juices. For a lighter meal, pair the pork chops with roasted vegetables and a crisp coleslaw. This is a flexible dish, so use whatever you have on hand and what your family loves most.
Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Cornstarch-Coated Pork Chops
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth
Directions
1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels so the coating will stick nicely.
2. In a shallow bowl or plate, stir together the cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.
3. Lightly coat each pork chop in the cornstarch mixture, shaking off any extra so there’s just a thin, even layer.
4. Place the coated pork chops in the bottom of the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer as much as possible.
