Notes
To add a little kick to the Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Honey Garlic Pork Tenderloin, try stirring in 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic mixture. If you’d like to thicken the sauce, you can simmer it separately with a cornstarch slurry after the pork is cooked.
For those who prefer a different protein, you can easily substitute chicken breast for the pork tenderloin. Just be mindful that chicken may cook a bit faster, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
To enhance the aroma of the Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Honey Garlic Pork Tenderloin, try adding a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme to the slow cooker during the cooking process.
