Pork Chops
- 4 bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon sea salt

Gravy
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1½ Tablespoons all-purpose flour

Pork Chops
Season the pork chops on both sides with sea salt and ground black pepper.
OPTIONAL SEAR: Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on either side.
Place the seasoned pork chops in the bowl of a slow cooker.
Add the onion, garlic, dried oregano, butter, and chicken stock. Mix to combine.
Cook on high for 4 hours. If you can, open the slow cooker every hour and spoon juices over the pork chops.
Gravy
Heat a skillet to medium heat.
Add the butter to the skillet and melt.
Add the flour and whisk. Cook for ~1 minute (or until golden brown), whisking continually.
Add the milk gradually, whisking continuously until homogenous.
½ cup at a time, add the cooking juice to the skillet, whisking continuously.
Season with sea salt and ground black pepper
Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes or until thickened and golden brown; whisking continuously all the while.
Pour the gravy over the slow cooker pork chops to serve.
- Searing the pork chops is totally optional, but we love the extra flavor it gives. If you have time for this step definitely give it a try!
