Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick (6–8 oz each)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for smoky flavor)
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning packet, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add a splash more broth if too thick.
- Place pork chops evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker without overlapping.
- Pour the creamy ranch mixture over the pork chops, spreading gently with a spatula to cover them well.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and is tender.
- About 15 minutes before serving, stir in sour cream if using for extra silkiness.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use bone-in pork chops for juicier results. Pat chops dry before seasoning to avoid watery sauce. Cook low and slow for best tenderness. Add sour cream at the end to keep sauce velvety. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain heat. For thicker sauce, remove chops and thicken sauce on stove with cornstarch slurry if desired.
