INSTRUCTIONS:

• Step 1. Season Pork Chops: Begin by seasoning your pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. This step helps to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
• Step 2. Mix Brown Sugar and Italian Dressing Mix: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and dry Italian dressing mix. The sweetness from the brown sugar balances perfectly with the savory Italian herbs and spices.
• Step 3. Layer Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the seasoned pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle the brown sugar and Italian dressing mixture evenly over the pork chops.
• Step 4. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker around the pork chops. The broth adds moisture and helps create a flavorful sauce as the pork cooks.
• Step 5. Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook the pork chops on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. Cooking on low heat ensures the meat becomes tender and absorbs all the delicious flavors.
• Step 6. Thicken Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.
• Step 7. Serve and Garnish: Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection, serve them hot with a generous drizzle of the flavorful sauce from the slow cooker. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
