Creamy Pork Chops in the Crock Pot
This dish is a great
one to have on a Sunday night in the winter.
It’s easy to throw in the crock pot, and the creaminess is such an
indulgence (yet, made a little healthier here with cream cheese instead of
cream.)
Ingredients
·
2 pounds pork loin
chops (4-6 chops)
·
Salt and Pepper
·
1 tablespoon olive oil
·
1 small onion, sliced
·
2 cups mushrooms,
sliced or quartered

2-3 cloves garlic,
minced
·
1 teaspoon dried thyme
(or use 5-10 stems fresh thyme)
·
2 cups chicken broth
·
8 ounces cream cheese (reduced fat)
·
1 tablespoon dijon
mustard
Directions:
Sprinkle each side of pork chops with thyme, salt, and pepper
In large skillet over medium-high heat olive oil - add seasoned
pork chops
Sauté for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Remove chops and add chicken broth to scrape up brown bits.

cooker.

until tender.
