• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cup
• Whisk or spoon

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 ounce)
• 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces)
• 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker

1. Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray if desired. This can help make cleanup easier after cooking.

Step 2: Place the Pork Chops

1. Arrange the pork chops in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. If your slow cooker is smaller, slightly overlap the pork chops as needed.

Step 3: Mix the Sauce

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and chicken broth. Whisk until smooth and fully blended.
2. Mixing Intensity: Gentle to Moderate
3. Mix for about 1 to 2 minutes until there are no large lumps remaining.

Step 4: Pour Over Pork Chops

1. Evenly pour the sauce mixture over the pork chops, ensuring that all pieces are coated.

Step 5: Slow Cook

1. Cover the slow cooker with the lid.
2. Cooking Intensity Options:

Low Heat Setting

1. Cook for 6 to 8 hours
2. Produces the most tender pork chops
3. Recommended for best results

High Heat Setting

1. Cook for 3 to 4 hours
2. Great when you’re short on time
3. Still produces flavorful and tender meat

Step 6: Check for Doneness

1. The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are fork-tender.
2. The sauce should be creamy and slightly thickened.

Step 7: Serve

1. Carefully remove the pork chops from the slow cooker and spoon extra sauce over the top before serving.
2. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
