Description

This Honey Garlic Pork Chops recipe features tender boneless center-cut pork chops seared to a golden brown and glazed with a flavorful homemade honey garlic sauce. The combination of honey, garlic, soy sauce, and a touch of vinegar creates a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy notes. Finished under the broiler for a slightly charred edge, these pork chops are a quick and delicious dinner option that pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or a fresh side salad.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 6 Boneless Center Cut Pork Chops

Seasoning

  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder

Cooking Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 6 Cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 2 Tablespoons Ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar

Instructions

  1. Season the Pork Chops: Start by seasoning the boneless center cut pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure that both sides of the pork chops are evenly coated for balanced flavor.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In an oven-safe skillet, such as a cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
  3. Sear the Pork Chops: Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Sear each side for approximately 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), which ensures a juicy interior and a golden-brown crust.
  4. Set Pork Chops Aside: Once cooked, transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  5. Sauté Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic until aromatic, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
  6. Make the Sauce: Add honey, ketchup, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar to the skillet. Whisk to combine and increase the heat slightly. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Preheat the Broiler: While the sauce simmers, preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
  8. Coat the Pork Chops: Return the seared pork chops to the skillet with the sauce. Baste them generously on both sides to ensure they are thoroughly coated in the flavorful glaze.
  9. Broil the Pork Chops: Place the skillet under the preheated broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes on each side until edges develop a slightly charred appearance. Continue basting with the sauce during broiling to enhance the flavor and keep the pork moist.
  10. Finish and Garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
  11. Serve: Serve these delicious honey garlic glazed pork chops with your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, or a crisp side salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet like cast iron for easy transition from stovetop to broiler.
  • Adjust honey quantity if you prefer a sweeter or less sweet glaze.
  • Watch closely while broiling to prevent burning due to the sugars in the sauce.
  • Fresh parsley garnish is optional but adds a nice color contrast and freshness.
  • Let the pork chops rest a few minutes after broiling for juicier texture.
