Method
Sear the Pork Chops
- In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
 - 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
- 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.
 - 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
- 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.
 - 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.
