Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 boneless pork chops (about 1.5–2 lbs, 3/4-inch thick)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened, full-fat or light)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for searing, optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional: Chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with black pepper and, if desired, garlic powder.
- Optional: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Work in batches if needed.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, and softened cream cheese until smooth. Use a hand mixer for best results.
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker. Arrange pork chops in a single layer. Pour the creamy ranch sauce evenly over the chops.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours, until pork chops are fork-tender and sauce is bubbling.
- Gently transfer pork chops to plates. Whisk the sauce in the slow cooker to smooth it out. Spoon sauce generously over the chops.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
For best flavor, sear pork chops before slow cooking. Always soften cream cheese for a smooth sauce. Use gluten-free soup and ranch mix for a gluten-free meal. Add vegetables like mushrooms or carrots for extra heartiness. Leftover sauce is great over potatoes or pasta. Adjust sauce thickness with broth or milk as needed.
