Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 1-½ to 3-½ Quart. (I used my new 1-½ quart oval one)
Coat a large skillet with non-stick spray.
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Brown the pork chops for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden.
Transfer the chops to the slow cooker.
Add the garlic to the drippings in the skillet and stir constantly over medium low heat until the garlic is aromatic and golden (but not burned, or it will turn bitter!) Stir in the soy sauce, broth, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the tapioca and then pour over the chops.
Add pork chops to your slow cooker, cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until the meat is fork tender.
Recipe Notes
Be sure to use reduced-sodium soy sauce and chicken broth to prevent the sauce from being too salty.And Mel says to be sure to include the red pepper flakes.You'll want to serve these chops with something to capture the delectable sauce. Mashed potatoes and rice are my favorites.If your watching your carbs, zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice would be yummy too.Serving size: 1 pork chop + ¼ sauceClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.7*SmartPoints (Green plan)7*SmartPoints (Blue plan)7*SmartPoints (Purple plan)7*PointsPlus (Old plan)
