Pat dry both sides of pork chops and add salt and pepper to each side
2-4 pork chops (bone in or boneless), 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper
Coat the bottom of a medium saucepan with oil, turn on to high heat. Pan and oil MUST be hot to get a great sear.
Once pan and oil are hot, add pork chops, sear each side for ~1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, turn stove off (set pan aside to be used for mushroom gravy).
Place sliced onion into the slow cooker covering the bottom surface. Add pork chops on top of onion.
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
Pour in chicken broth and wine. Cook on low heat for 1-2 hours, or until internal temperature of pork chops reach 145° F.
1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup white wine
Remove pork chops from crock pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the broth and onions in the crockpot until smooth. Set aside. (You can also pour the liquid into a standing blender and blend until smooth).
In the same saucepan that was used to sear pork chops, melt butter over medium-high heat. Once butter is melted, add sliced mushrooms and saute for ~4-5 minutes. Add in minced garlic, saute with mushrooms.
2 Tbsp. butter, unsalted, 10 oz. Cremini mushrooms, sliced thinly, 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
Pour in remaining liquid from crock pot, stir, while scraping the bottom of the pan for ~1-2 minutes. Make cornstarch slurry by whisking 1 Tbsp. cornstarch and 2 Tbsp. cold water together with a fork. Whisk in heavy cream and cornstarch slurry, simmer until sauce begins to thicken.
2 cups liquid from the crockpot*, 1 Tbsp. cornstarch (mixed with 2 Tbsp. water), 1/2 cup heavy cream
Once sauce is thick, add in rosemary, parmesan cheese, salt and 1 pepper. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve on top pork chops.
1 Tbsp. rosemary, chopped (fresh), 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese (grated, fresh), salt and pepper, to taste
