Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless, 1-inch thick
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Pork Chops – Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Make Honey Garlic Sauce – In a bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
- Sear the Pork Chops – Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Create the Glaze – Lower the heat to medium and pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet. Scrape up browned bits and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Coat the Pork Chops – Return pork chops to the skillet, turning them to coat in the glaze. Let them cook for another 2-3 minutes while basting with sauce.
- Serve & Enjoy – Garnish with parsley or green onions and serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For extra crispy edges, broil the pork chops for 2 minutes after searing.
- Use bone-in pork chops for a juicier texture.
- Add a teaspoon of hot sauce for a spicier version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
