  3. Gradually pour in the chicken stock, stirring constantly. Transfer this mixture to the slow cooker. Add the mushrooms, tomato puree, vinegar, and black pepper, stirring to combine.

  2. Stir in the cream, garnish with parsley, and serve with mashed potatoes and green vegetables.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in your favorite seasoning the night before. Use a meat thermometer to check that the pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe eating. Feel free to add different vegetables like carrots or potatoes to the slow cooker for a one-pot meal.
