Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 (6-ounce) box herb-seasoned stuffing mix
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
Optional Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Freshly cracked black pepper
How to Make
Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly spray a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Arrange the Pork Chops
Place the pork chops in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Avoid overlapping them for even cooking.
Step 3: Make the Stuffing Mixture
In a medium bowl, combine:
- Dry stuffing mix
- Undiluted cream of chicken soup
Mix until evenly combined.
Do not add water or broth.
Step 4: Cover the Pork
Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the pork chops, completely covering them.
Press gently so the mixture stays in place.
Step 5: Slow Cook
Cover with the lid and cook:
- LOW: 5–6 hours (recommended)
- HIGH: 2½–3 hours
The pork should be tender and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Carefully lift each pork chop onto a plate and spoon extra stuffing over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips
- Use pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for the juiciest results.
- Don’t add extra liquid—the pork naturally releases enough moisture.
- Keep the slow cooker lid closed during cooking.
- Cook on LOW whenever possible for the most tender pork.
