INGREDIENTS :

• 1 medium onion, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
• 4–5 pork loin chops, boneless
• 1/2 c (120ml) chicken broth
• 1 1/2 pounds (600 grams) of yellow potatoes, peeled and diced
• 4 ounces (120 grams) of cream cheese, softened

• 3/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 c heavy whipping cream
• Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper
• 2 c mushrooms, chopped

DIRECTIONS :

1. Lay the potatoes on the bottom of the slow cooker and arrange them in a single layer. Scatter cracked pepper on top.
2. Place a saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add butter and allow it to melt. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute or just until aromatic.
3. Add heavy cream, cream cheese, and chicken broth to the pan. Stir everything until well blended.
4. Reduce the heat to low, then simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes or until it becomes thick.
5. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted completely. Season with Italian seasoning to taste. If it gets too dry, add a bit of cream.
6. Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the pork chops, then sear each side for a few minutes until they turn golden brown. Season with salt to taste. Transfer them into the slow cooker over the potatoes.
7. In the same skillet, add the onion and mushrooms. Sauté for a few minutes until they become soft. Deglaze the skillet by scraping the bottom. Transfer everything into the slow cooker together with the sauce.
8. Cover and seal the slow cooker, then cook everything for 3 to 4 hours on a high setting or 6 to 8 hours on a low setting. Dish out!
9. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, freshly chopped parsley, and red chili pepper flakes over each serving to garnish.
10. Serve and enjoy!
