Ingredients:
-
4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Salt and pepper to taste
-
1/4 cup honey
-
4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra tang)
-
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
-
Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pork Chops:
-
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Pork Chops:
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the pan.
-
Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
-
Remove the pork chops from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
-
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).
-
Add honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard (if using), apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
-
Bring the sauce to a simmer, and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
4. Combine Pork Chops and Sauce:
-
Return the cooked pork chops to the skillet and coat them in the honey garlic sauce.
-
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, turning the pork chops to ensure they’re fully coated and heated through.
5. Serve:
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve the honey garlic pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
