Pro Tips

Sear the Pork Chops First: For extra flavor, quickly sear the pork chops in a hot skillet with butter before adding them to the crockpot. It’s worth the extra 5 minutes!
Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened so it blends smoothly into the sauce. No clumps!
Don’t Overcook: Pork chops can dry out if overcooked. Stick to 4-6 hours on LOW for perfectly tender meat.
Kid-Friendly Garnishes: If your kids don’t love parsley, try sprinkling a little shredded cheese on top instead!
Thicken the Sauce: If the sauce feels too thin after cooking, transfer it to a saucepan and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens.

Tools You’ll Need

Crockpot or slow cooker
Skillet (optional, for searing)
Knife and cutting board
Small whisk or spoon (for blending the sauce)

Substitutions and Variations

Meat Swap: Try boneless chicken thighs or even turkey chops instead of pork!
Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and a dairy-free cream cheese substitute.
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Low Sodium: Use low-sodium chicken broth and adjust the salt to taste.

Make Ahead Tips

Prep the sauce ingredients (mince garlic, measure out spices, and soften cream cheese) the night before so all you have to do is dump it in the crockpot in the morning.

Instructions

1. Sear the Pork Chops (Optional)
