Instructions

Heat a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
Combine the flour, mustard, season salt, garlic powder and pepper in a shallow dish.
Dredge the pork chops and shake off any excess.
Work in batches searing two of the pork for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to your slow cooker and repeat with the remaining pork chops.
In a bowl or 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk the remaining flour mixture with the broth and pour over top of the pork chops in the slow cooker.
Add in fresh herbs.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Remove pork chops to a plate. Whisk the gravy and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve pork chops on egg noodles or mashed potatoes with peas, green beans or roasted brussels sprouts.

Notes

I would suggest another hour or two for bone-in pork chops.
