Method
 

Sear the Pork Chops
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with the spice mixture. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to the crockpot.
Make the Sauce & Cook
  1. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Whisk in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
  2. Pour the sauce over the pork chops in the crockpot. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until fork-tender.
Make the Gravy
  1. Remove cooked pork chops to a plate. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the liquid in the crockpot set to HIGH. Cook for 10-15 minutes, whisking occasionally, until thickened.
  2. Serve the pork chops hot, smothered with the gravy.

Notes

Best Pork Chops: For the most tender, juicy results, use thick-cut (1 to 1.5-inch), bone-in pork chops.
Searing is Key: Don't skip searing the pork chops! It builds a massive amount of flavor in the final dish and gravy.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
