Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for extra richness)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops – Pat dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.- Sear the pork chops – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Make the honey garlic sauce – In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2 minutes.
- Coat the pork chops – Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon sauce over them. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, until the sauce thickens and the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.
- Finish & serve – Add butter for extra richness, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm with rice or veggies!
Notes
Thicker Chops? If using thicker pork chops, increase cooking time by a few minutes.- Oven Option: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, then broil for a caramelized finish.
- Make It Spicy: Add ½ teaspoon sriracha or extra red pepper flakes.
