1. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and paprika.
2. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork loin.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork loin and brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Transfer the browned pork loin to the crockpot.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, and honey. Pour over the pork loin in the crockpot.
6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the pork is tender and cooked through.
7. Once cooked, remove the pork loin from the crockpot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. To make a gravy, pour the cooking juices from the crockpot into a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry, then whisk into the juices. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
9. Serve the sliced pork loin with the gravy drizzled on top.
Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice rub. You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or sage for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, increase the honey to 1/4 cup. For a more savory dish, add sliced onions and carrots to the crockpot along with the pork loin. These will cook down and add extra flavor to the dish.
