Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
Boneless pork chops - I like to use thick cut chops that are ¾ to an inch thick. If the chops are too thin, they may become tough. can be substituted with bone-in pork chops, a one-pound pork tenderloin, or boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs.
Cooking time may increase for bone-in pork chops and may decrease if you make this recipe with chicken. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165 degrees f.
Fresh garlic cloves can be substituted with ¼ teaspoon per clove of garlic powder or ½ teaspoon per garlic clove of minced garlic in a jar.
Tamari Sauce - soy sauce and coconut aminos are very similar in flavor and are interchangeable in most recipes.
Tamari sauce is gluten-free and has a richer flavor than soy sauce. Coconut aminos are soy-free and gluten-free with a lighter flavor.
If you don't have tamari sauce you can use an equal amount of either soy sauce or coconut aminos.
Fresh ginger can be replaced with ⅛ teaspoon of ground-dried ginger. Please note that the ginger flavor if you use dried ginger will not be as vibrant.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these slow cooker pork chops garnished with green onion and sesame seeds with your favorite side dishes such as roasted brussels sprouts with apples, green beans, and roasted smashed potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, or cauliflower rice.
Storing and serving leftover honey garlic crockpot pork chops
Store leftover pork chops in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Reheat the pork in the oven covered at low heat at 325 degrees f until the pork chops are heated through. They can also be reheated in a skillet on medium to low heat on top of the stove or in the microwave.
A delicious way to serve leftover honey garlic pork chops is to shred it and spread it over nacho chips topped with melted cheese.
💡Tips
- If the sauce mixture is thin after the cooking process, gradually stir in a slurry of 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon flour until the sauce reaches the consistency that you like.
- If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in water or chicken broth to thin it out.
For the most tender pork chops, make sure there is enough liquid and the pork chops are covered in the sauce.
You can cook the pork chops on high in the slow cooker until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees f which should take about 2 to 2 ½ hours.
You can freeze leftover pork chops for up to three months in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Thaw the pork chops in the refrigerator overnight before reheating them.
