Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick-cut boneless pork chops, about 1-inch / 2.5 cm thick
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) Splenda or brown sugar substitute
  • 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) ground ginger
  • for Perfect Pork Chops
  • For a richer flavor and color, sear the pork chops in a hot, oiled skillet for 2-3 minutes per side before adding them to the slow cooker.
  • To create a thicker glaze, remove the cooked pork chops and pour the remaining liquid into a small saucepan. Whisk in a slurry of 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) cornstarch and 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) cold water, then simmer until thickened.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like sliced carrots or mushrooms to the slow cooker for a complete one-pot meal.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, Splenda, and ground ginger until well combined to create the sauce.
  3. Place the chopped onion in the bottom of your slow cooker, then arrange the pork chops on top in a single layer.
  4. Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture evenly over the pork chops.
  5. Secure the lid and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the pork is fork-tender. If using frozen pork chops, you may need to add an extra hour to the cooking time.
