How to Make Honey Garlic Pork Chops

1. Season and coat.

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels.

Season both sides with salt and pepper.

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, and paprika. Dredge each pork chop, shaking off any excess.

2. Cook the pork chops.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer to a plate.

3. Make the glaze.

Reduce the heat to medium.

Add the butter and garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds.

Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.

Simmer for 1–2 minutes, until slightly thickened.

4. Finish.

Return the pork chops to the skillet.

Spoon the glaze over the pork chops and let everything simmer together for 3–5 minutes,

allowing the glaze to caramelize.

Serve immediately.

Make It Your Own

• Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.

• Finish with chopped parsley.

• Swap lemon juice for apple cider vinegar.

• Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet.

• Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the finished pork chops.

Storage & Leftovers

Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.

A Few Questions You Might Have

Can I use boneless pork chops?

Yes, but they'll cook a little faster. Just keep an eye on the internal temperature so they don't dry out.

How do I know when the pork chops are done?

Pork is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, followed by a few minutes of rest.

What should I serve with these?

These are delicious with roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice, green beans, asparagus, or a simple side salad.

Can I make these ahead?

They're best fresh, but leftovers reheat well for lunch or another easy dinner.
