2. Crock Pot Setup: In your crock pot, combine the chicken broth with the remaining flour mixture. This will form the base for your delicious gravy.

3. Searing the Chops: Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and brown them on both sides. This step helps to seal in the juices and adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the dish.

4. Enhancing Flavor: As the pork chops are browning, don’t forget to deglaze the skillet. Add a small amount of water to the skillet and bring it to a boil, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom. Once done, transfer this flavorful liquid to the crock pot.

5. Slow Cooking: Carefully place the browned pork chops into the crock pot, ensuring they are submerged in the broth mixture. Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork chops.

6. Serving Suggestions: Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection, serve them over a bed of rice or alongside creamy mashed potatoes. The choice is yours!

7. Extra Gravy: If you’re a gravy lover like me, here’s a pro tip: halfway through the cooking time, add a bit of water to the crock pot. This will create even more delicious gravy for you to enjoy. Don’t forget to taste for any additional seasonings needed and adjust accordingly.
