Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these Slow Cooker Peach Glazed Pork Chops, you’ll need:
-
4 boneless pork chops
-
1 cup peach preserves
-
1/2 cup chicken broth
-
1/4 cup soy sauce
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Season the Pork Chops
Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper to taste. This helps bring out the natural flavor of the meat and ensures a delicious, well-balanced bite.
Step 2: Sear for Flavor
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Pro Tip: Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich, caramelized flavor that makes a big difference in the final dish.
Transfer the browned pork chops to your slow cooker.
Step 3: Prepare the Peach Glaze
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
-
Peach preserves
-
Chicken broth
-
Soy sauce
-
Minced garlic
-
Dijon mustard
Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Combine and Cook
Pour the peach glaze mixture evenly over the pork chops in the slow cooker. Make sure each chop is coated with the sauce.
Cover and cook:
-
On Low for 6–7 hours, or
-
On High for 3–4 hours
Cook until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Once done, carefully remove the pork chops and let them rest for 3–5 minutes to retain their juices.
Spoon the sweet peach glaze from the slow cooker over the top before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors!
Serving Suggestions
These Peach Glazed Pork Chops pair beautifully with:
-
