This recipe is the epitome of comfort food, combining tender pork chops with a tangy ranch seasoning that infuses deep flavor into every bite.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick; can substitute boneless pork chops if preferred)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (ensure it's your favorite brand for optimal flavor)
1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium recommended for better control over salt levels)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing, optional but recommended for added flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the pork chops: If you choose to sear the pork chops, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops lightly with salt and pepper, then sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Combine the ingredients: In your slow cooker, combine the chicken broth and ranch seasoning mix. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the pork chops: Place the pork chops into the slow cooker, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid as much as possible.
Cook the pork chops: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours.
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the pork chops from the slow cooker. Serve with some of the cooking liquid spooned over the top.
