Description
A delightful balance of sweet and savory, Honey Garlic Pork Chops Skillet is a family favorite that’s simple to prepare and perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork chops (boneless or bone-in)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary), optional
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip the pork chops, pour the honey-garlic mixture over them, and reduce the heat. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving, drizzling leftover sauce from the skillet over the top.
Notes
Ensure you do not overcrowd the skillet to achieve a good sear and always let the meat rest before serving for optimal juiciness.
