Instructions
 

  • Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottom or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chops for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and almost cooked through to the center.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and set the pork chops aside on a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and saute garlic for up to one minute until fragrant, soft and translucent. Add the honey, broth, and vinegar. Stir well to combine and cook for up to 4 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly and starts to thicken.
  • Carefully add the pork chops back to the pan and continue to cook them through while basting frequently with the sauce.
  • The meat is done when the internal temperature reads 145 °F. Let rest for up to 5 minutes before serving with sauce.

Notes

  • Deglaze the pan: After searing the pork, use chicken broth to scrape up the browned bits from the pan. It’s totally worth the effort and time over just searing or marinating the meat because it makes such a thick and delicious sticky sauce that you can’t get any other way.
  • Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet glaze, reduce the honey slightly and add an extra splash of apple cider vinegar for more tang.
  • Adjust the consistency: If your sauce becomes too thick, add 1 to 2 of chicken broth or water to thin it to your desired consistency.
  • Add a kick of heat: A pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha can add a delicious spiky kick that complements the honey garlic sauce beautifully.
  • Let the meat rest: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for at least 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making them extra juicy when you cut into them.
  • Double the sauce: If you love extra sauce for drizzling over rice, veggies, or mashed potatoes, simply increase the broth, honey, and garlic!
Serve: Delicious with dinner rolls or on a bed of rice, because you’ll need something to soak up the sauce!
Store: Cool, transfer to an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or up to 2 weeks in the freezer. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat or in the oven at 375 F. Thaw frozen chops in the fridge overnight before reheating.
