Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 3 hours
Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

Slow Cooker Pork Chops:

  • 24 ounces Yukon gold potatoes chopped into 2-inch chunks*
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 to 5 pork chops**
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced

For the sauce:

  • 1 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup chicken broth or beef broth
  • 1 Tbsp cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp dried parsley***
  • ½ tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables:

  • Add the avocado oil to a large skillet, heat to medium-high, and add the onion and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and mushrooms have turned deeply golden-brown. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a bowl and set aside until ready to use.

Sear the Pork Chops:

  • Use the same skillet you used to sauté the onion and mushrooms to sear the pork chops. To do so, keep the skillet heated to medium-high and add a touch more avocado oil if necessary. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with sea salt, then place on the hot skillet. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden-brown.

Make the Sauce:

  • While the vegetables are sautéing and the meat is browning, make the sauce. To do so, simply add all of the ingredients for the sauce to a small saucepan and whisk well. Bring to a full boil and whisk constantly until sauce thickens - this should only take a couple of minutes! Set sauce aside until ready to use.

Slow Cook Everything:

  • Place the potatoes at the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Transfer the seared pork chops to the crock pot, placing them on top of the potatoes. 
  • Add the sautéed vegetables followed by the sauce.
  • Stir as best you can, then secure the lid on the slow cooker.
  • Slow cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Serve the pork chops with potatoes and mushrooms slathered in sauce and enjoy!

Notes

*If using baby gold potatoes, there is no need to chop the potatoes ahead of time.
**Use boneless or bone-in pork chops. I prefer bone-in.
***You can also use dried parsley or dried oregano in place of Italian seasoning.
