Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (approximately 1 inch thick)

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork Chops:

    - Season both sides of each pork chop with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, ensuring an even coating for enhanced flavor.

      Sear the Pork Chops (Optional):

        - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork chops and sear for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust. This step locks in the juices and intensifies the flavor.

          Mix the Sauce:

            - In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, and sour cream. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

              Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot:

                - Gently place the seared pork chops in the crockpot. Pour the creamy ranch sauce mixture over the pork chops, making sure they are thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.

                  Cook:

                    - Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The pork chops are done when they are tender and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

                      Final Touches:

                        - Carefully transfer the cooked pork chops to a serving platter. If desired, stir the sauce remaining in the crockpot to combine and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.

                          Serve:

                            - Drizzle the creamy ranch sauce over the pork chops and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley as a vibrant garnish.

                              Prep Time, Total Time, Servings:

                                15 minutes | 6-8 hours (depending on cooking method) | 4 servings

                                  - Presentation Tips: Serve the pork chops on a rustic wooden board or a chic white platter, allowing the creamy sauce to cascade down for a comforting, appealing look. Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
