1 1/2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Cooking spray

1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced

Add wine to skillet over medium-high; cook 30 seconds, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Spoon wine mixture over pork chops in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours or until vegetables are tender.
Cook egg noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
Remove pork chops from slow cooker, and keep warm. Remove and discard herb sprigs.

Divide noodle mixture among 4 plates; top each with 1 pork chop, and drizzle with any remaining sauce in slow cooker. Sprinkle evenly with thyme leaves.
