Ingredients
- 4 pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate to rest.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and coat them in the sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Once the pork chops are glazed and heated through, remove them from the skillet and serve them topped with the sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
These easy honey garlic pork chops are not only delicious but also quick to make, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Pair them with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal that your family will love. Enjoy!
