Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and chopping your sweet potatoes into even-sized chunks for consistent cooking. Slice the onion and mince the garlic.
Sear the Pork Chops (Optional): For an extra layer of flavor, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each pork chop for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. This step is optional but highly recommended.
Layer the Ingredients: In your Crock Pot, place the chopped sweet potatoes at the bottom, followed by the sliced onions and minced garlic. Season with salt, pepper, & paprika.
Add the Pork Chops: Place the seared (or raw) pork chops on top of the sweet potatoes. Pour the chicken broth over everything, ensuring that the pork chops are well-covered.
Cook: Cover your Crock Pot and set it to low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule. The longer cooking time will yield more tender meat.
Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the pork chops and sweet potatoes from the Crock Pot. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your delicious meal!
