Instructions
Lightly grease the slow cooker with a cooking spray or a small amount of butter to avoid sticking.
Lay the boneless pork chops flat in the slow cooker, avoiding any overlap for even cooking.
In a separate bowl, mix chicken stock, cornstarch, heavy cream, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and paprika until well blended.
Carefully pour the mixed sauce over the pork chops, making sure they're all covered.
Sprinkle sun-dried tomatoes on top and distribute small pieces of butter over the chops.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Set to cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
Use a meat thermometer to confirm that the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) or higher, based on your preference.
Once cooking is complete, garnish with basil and serve over mashed potatoes for a full meal.
