Quick and easy honey garlic pork chops cooked in a skillet with a savory glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add pork chops to the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
  6. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the pork chops in the skillet.
  7. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, turning the pork chops occasionally, until the glaze thickens and the pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature reaches 145°F or 63°C).
  8. Remove pork chops from skillet and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon extra glaze over the chops.

Notes

  • For juicier pork chops, avoid overcooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  • If the glaze reduces too quickly, add a tablespoon of water or broth.
  • Boneless pork chops cook faster than bone-in. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Serve with your favorite sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
