Honey Garlic Pork Chops: Sweet and Savory Perfection
These Honey Garlic Pork Chops are a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. Juicy pork chops are seared to golden perfection, then glazed in a luscious honey garlic sauce. An easy and delicious dinner for any night of the week.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops approximately 3/4-inch thick
- salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the pork chops on a clean surface. Sprinkle both sides with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork chops and sear each side for 7-8 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and place on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same pan and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour in honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Return the pork chops to the pan with the simmering sauce. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops, turning them to coat evenly. Let them cook in the sauce for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken.
- Sprinkle the pork chops with finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, marinate the pork chops in the honey garlic sauce for up to 2 hours before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
