What happened with my pork chops?

This is the first time I’ve tried cooking pork chops in the crockpot. What the heck is all this sediment? I know that can happen sometimes with dairy but I didn’t put any dairy ingredients in here.

Recipe if it helps:

Ingredients:

• 4-6 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, frozen is fine)
• 4 cups chopped Napa cabbage (or green cabbage)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large potatoes, cubed
• 2 large carrots, chopped
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1.  Place the pork chops at the bottom of the crockpot.
2.  Add the chopped onion, garlic, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots on top of the pork chops.
3.  Pour the chicken broth, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar over the ingredients. Sprinkle with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
4.  Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6-8 hours, or until the pork chops are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
5.  Serve as a hearty stew or over rice.
