Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
• 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for searing)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Season the Pork: Lightly season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
2. Optional Sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
   Sear pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly browned (optional but adds extra flavor).
3. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix the ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup,
   sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth.
4. Add to Slow Cooker: Place pork chops in the slow cooker.
   Pour the creamy ranch mixture evenly over the top.
5. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours,
   until pork is tender and fully cooked.
6. Serve: Spoon extra sauce over the pork chops and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Description

These pork chops turn out incredibly tender thanks to slow cooking. The creamy ranch sauce is rich, savory,
and full of comforting flavor. The blend of herbs from the ranch seasoning combined with the creaminess
of sour cream creates a smooth, velvety sauce that coats every bite. It’s hearty, satisfying, and perfect
for serving over mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up every drop.

Tips

• Don’t overcook: Pork can dry out if cooked too long, even in a slow cooker.
  Check for doneness near the minimum cooking time.
• Thicker sauce: Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and
  stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
• Add vegetables: Baby potatoes, carrots, or green beans can be added at the beginning
  for a complete one-pot meal.
• Bone-in option: Bone-in pork chops work well and often stay even juicier.

Correction & Storage

• If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid during the last 20–30 minutes to help it thicken.
• If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to loosen it.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a little broth if needed.
