Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 14h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons black peppercorns, slightly crushed
1 pound ice
4 (1 to 1 1/2-inch thick) bone-in pork chops

3 ounces dried apple slices
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, julienned
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Combine the vegetable broth, 1/2 cup kosher salt, brown sugar and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat.

Place in a plastic container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove the chops from the brine, rinse, and pat dry. Season on both sides with the kosher salt and set aside

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork chops: For the best results, use bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. Thinner chops will cook too quickly and dry out.
  • Season the pork chops generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the pork chops. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Sear the pork chops before slow cooking: Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet before slow cooking will help to brown them and develop flavor.
  • Add moisture to the slow cooker: Pork chops can dry out during slow cooking, so it is important to add some moisture to the slow cooker. You can do this by adding a cup of chicken broth or water to the slow cooker.
  • Cook the pork chops on low for 6-8 hours: The cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops. Cook the pork chops on low for 6-8 hours, or until they are cooked through.
  • Let the pork chops rest before serving: Once the pork chops are cooked, let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the pork chops more tender.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker pork chops are a delicious and easy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender dish that the whole family will love. Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
