These creamy garlic Parmesan pork chops are slow-cooked to tender perfection in a rich, cheesy, and garlicky sauce. This easy, hands-off recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or cozy family dinners, delivering comfort food with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 pork chops (about 1-inch thick, bone-in or boneless, ~2 lbs)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Work in batches if needed.
  3. Transfer browned pork chops to the slow cooker in an even layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, heavy cream, softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) until as smooth as possible.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the pork chops in the slow cooker, spreading evenly to cover.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until pork is tender and reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F.
  7. Gently remove pork chops to a serving platter. Whisk the sauce in the slow cooker to smooth out any lumps.
  8. Spoon sauce over pork chops, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For best flavor, sear pork chops before slow cooking. Use room temperature pork for even cooking. Adjust sauce thickness by removing the lid and cooking on HIGH for 15-20 minutes if too thin, or add a splash of broth if too thick. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and keto-friendly. Add mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for variations. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
