Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Maple Dijon Pork Chops
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 boneless pork chops
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Directions
Place the pork chops in the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce until well combined.
Pour the maple Dijon mixture over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through.
Once done, serve the pork chops with the sauce from the slow cooker drizzled over the top.
Variations & Tips
For a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the maple Dijon mixture. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the pork chops once cooked and thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry before serving. For picky eaters, consider serving the sauce on the side so everyone can add as much or as little as they like. You can also try this recipe with chicken breasts or thighs for a different take.
