Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

• 4 thick-cut bone in pork chops, about 1″ to 1 1/4″ thick
• 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
• 1/4 c. low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 c. low-sodium chicken broth

Directions:

1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Then trim away any very large pieces of excess fat.
2. Arrange the pork chops in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Try to arrange them into a single layer, if possible.
3. In a medium bowl whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce & chicken broth. Whisk until the brown sugar is mostly dissolved.
4. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the pork chops. Turn the chops gently over so that both sides are coated with the sauce.
5. Cover the slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours, or on high for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
6. Cook until the pork is tender & reaches an internal temp of 145°F.
7. Avoid cooking the chops much longer than necessary, especially if they are lean, so that they remain juicy.
8. Carefully transfer the pork chops to a serving platter & cover loosely with foil.
9. Pour the cooking liquid into a small saucepan. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat & cook it for 5-10 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly. It will become thicker & glossy.
10. Return the pork chops to the slow cooker or place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
11. Brush them generously with the reduced brown sugar soy glaze.
12. For a deeply caramelized finish, place the chops under the broiler for 1-3 minutes, watching them closely so that they do not burn.
13. The glaze should become shiny & sticky around the edges.
14. To serve, place the pork chops on a serving platter & then spoon the remaining glossy glaze over the top/around the pork chops.
15. Serve immediately, while they are still hot!
