Here’s a simple and delicious honey garlic pork chops recipe that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner. 🍯🥩
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 boneless pork chops
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional, adds tang)
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Season the pork chops
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the pork chops. - Sear the pork chops
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside. - Make the honey garlic sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened. - Cook the pork chops in the sauce
Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon sauce over them and cook 3–5 more minutes, until the pork is fully cooked (internal temperature 63°C / 145°F). - Serve and garnish
Drizzle extra sauce over the pork chops and sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions.
✨ Tips for Juicy Pork Chops
- Let pork chops rest 3–5 minutes after cooking to retain juices.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chops in the honey garlic mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies.
