Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a cast-iron or heavy-bottom skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chops for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and almost fully cooked.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and transfer the pork chops to a plate. Add the last tablespoon of butter to the pan, then sauté the garlic until fragrant and softened.
  • Pour in the honey, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Place the pork chops back into the pan and make sure they’re fully coated in the glaze. Continue cooking while basting with the sauce until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 °F.
  • Remove from heat and let the chops rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle. Serve as is or with extra glaze drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • Add one or two tablespoons at a time to  loosen the glaze if it’s too thick. 
  • Once the pork is seared, use chicken broth to loosen all those flavorful browned bits in the pan.
  • Red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha bring just the right amount of heat to complement the honey garlic combo.
  • Increase the broth, honey, and garlic for more of that delicious, sticky glaze!
  • Cut back on the honey and add a little extra apple cider vinegar for a tangy balance.
  • Let the chops rest for at least five minutes after cooking to lock in the juices before slicing
Serve: Try them with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Serve them over rice or with warm dinner rolls to soak up that rich, flavorful glaze.
Store: Cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days or 2 weeks in the freezer. Reheat on the stovetop in a skillet over medium heat or pop them in the oven at 375 F. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating for the best texture.
