Fork-Tender Foil Packet Pork Chops

Ingredients:

• 2–4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or mixed herbs)
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ cup chicken broth or water
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Season the pork chops
   Pat dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
2. Prepare foil packets
   Tear large pieces of aluminum foil and place each pork chop in the center. Fold the edges up to create a “bowl” (like in the image).
3. Add flavor
   Place a small piece of butter on top of each pork chop and drizzle a little broth into each packet.
4. Seal the packets
   Close the foil tightly to lock in moisture.
5. Place in crockpot
   Arrange the foil packets inside your slow cooker.
6. Cook
   
   • Low: 6–7 hours
   • High: 3–4 hours
8. Serve
   Carefully open packets (hot steam!) and spoon juices over the pork chops. Garnish with parsley if desired.
