In a medium bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, oregano, and basil. Set aside 2 teaspoons of the spice blend and rub the rest generously onto the pork chops, massaging it into the slits.

Mix the remaining spice blend with broth and garlic to create a flavorful marinade.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on High, basting occasionally with the sauce, until the center is just pink, approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. The internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.

Serve immediately and savor the flavors!
