• 🌿¼ teaspoon paprika
• 🍗⅓ cup low sodium chicken broth
• •3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• •2 tablespoons honey
• •1 tablespoon ketchup

Instructions

1. 1If the pork tenderloin is longer than the slow cooker, cut it in half crosswise. If it fits, leave it whole.
2. 2Combine garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over all sides of the pork tenderloin.
3. 3Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the slow cooker.
4. 4In a medium bowl, whisk together chicken broth, honey, balsamic vinegar, ketchup, and corn starch. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
5. 5Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 3-4 hours, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 150-160°F.
6. 6Remove the tenderloin from the slow cooker and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. 7Optional: To thicken the sauce further, strain it into a small pot, add a corn starch slurry (1 teaspoon corn starch mixed with 1 teaspoon water), and cook over medium-high heat until thickened.
