These honeyed pork chops are a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. The pork chops are marinated in a delicious honey and soy sauce mixture, then seared to perfection. A glaze made of honey, garlic, and mustard adds even more depth of flavor to these tender, juicy chops. Serve them with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 pork chops
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chops are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later.
  4. Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the glaze has thickened slightly.
  6. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dishes.
