4-Ingredient Maple Dijon Pork Chops (Print-Friendly Version)
Juicy pork chops slow-cooked with maple and Dijon for an easy, savory meal with just four ingredients.
# What You’ll Need to Make This:
→ Main
01 -
4 boneless pork chops
02 -
1 large white or yellow onion, chopped
03 -
120 ml pure maple syrup
04 -
80 ml Dijon mustard
→ Optional
05 -
Olive oil or butter, as needed
06 -
Kosher salt, to taste
07 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sear on both sides until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
02 -
Spread the chopped onion evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker.
03 -
In a medium bowl, combine maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Add the pork chops to this mixture and turn to coat thoroughly. If you did not sear the pork chops, season them with salt and pepper at this stage.
04 -
Arrange the coated pork chops on top of the onions in the slow cooker. Pour over any remaining maple-Dijon mixture.
05 -
Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or on high for 2–3 hours, until the pork is tender and fully cooked.
06 -
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve the pork chops with onion and pan juices spooned on top.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Searing the pork chops before slow cooking adds depth of flavor and a pleasing caramelized exterior, but the dish is still delicious if you skip this step for convenience.
