Description

Slow Cooker Foil-Pack Glazed Pork Chops & Baby Carrots is a juicy, tender, and flavor-packed one-pot meal cooked in convenient foil packets. The pork chops stay moist while the baby carrots absorb a sweet and savory glaze, creating a complete dinner with minimal cleanup and maximum comfort. Perfect for busy nights or easy family meals.

Ingredients

4–6 boneless or bone-in pork chops
1 lb baby carrots
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
⅓ cup honey or brown sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Instructions

Cut 4 large sheets of heavy-duty foil.
Place a portion of baby carrots in the center of each foil sheet.
Lay a pork chop on top of the carrots.
In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, paprika, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle glaze evenly over pork chops and carrots.
Add a small drizzle of olive oil or butter for extra moisture.
Fold foil tightly into sealed packets.
Place packets into the slow cooker.
Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until pork is tender.
Carefully open packets and serve warm.

Notes

Foil packets lock in moisture and flavor.
Baby carrots cook perfectly without cutting.
Pork chops should not be overcooked or they may dry out.

Tips

Add potatoes or green beans to the foil packs.
Use bone-in chops for more flavor.
Broil open packets for 2–3 minutes for caramelized glaze.
