Honey Glazed Pork Chops are juicy pork chops coated in a sticky, flavorful glaze made with honey and savory seasonings.
Honey Glazed Pork Chops (4 servings)
Ingredients
- 4 boneless or bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch / 2.5 cm thick)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, mustard, garlic, and vinegar.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the glaze.
- Cook for another 2–4 minutes, turning the chops occasionally and spooning the glaze over them, until the sauce thickens and the pork is cooked through.
- Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted sweet potatoes
- Steamed green beans
- Rice or pilaf
- A crisp garden salad
Tips
- Bone-in chops tend to stay juicier during cooking.
- If the glaze thickens too much, add a tablespoon of water.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a few sprigs of fresh thyme.
The result is a delicious balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors with a beautifully caramelized glaze. 🍯🥩
