I’ve mentioned before that we are trying to eat more of a Mediterranean style diet for health reasons. I’ve already found several recipes we really enjoy and am experimenting with some of my own. I also like having a good collection of slow cooker recipes for those busy days. I recently came up with a recipe for pork chops that fits both criteria. It’s so good I’ve already made it twice so I decided to share it with you. Enjoy!

Mediterranean Style Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 4-6 thick-cut, boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 8 ounces chicken broth
- 2-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2-4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1-2 cups tiny yellow potatoes (opt.)
Instructions
-
Spray slow cooker with non-stick spray.
-
Season pork chops on both sides with garlic salt and pepper then place in slow cooker.
-
Sprinkle with basil, oregano and paprika.
-
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
-
Place potatoes on and around the pork chops and then pour in the chicken broth.
-
Cook on low 6-8 hours or until very tender.
The pork chops will be fall-apart-tender and so flavorful. I like to add those teeny tiny yellow potatoes that Aldi has called “Steak Potatoes”. You could substitute tiny red potatoes or for a low carb version skip them altogether. The cooking liquid can be thickened by adding a paste of corn starch and cold water then bringing to a boil. This would be good over rice, mashed potatoes or pasta. Leftover pork chops make really tasty sandwiches, too!
