World’s Best Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Ingredients:

4 bone-in or boneless pork chops

2 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/2 tsp dried thyme (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Preparation:

Season the Pork Chops: Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.

Cook the Pork Chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (145°F internal temperature). Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: Lower the heat to medium in the same skillet. Sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and thyme (if using). Stir and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Coat the Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce generously over them and cook for 2 more minutes, letting the flavors meld.

Serve: Top with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.

These honey garlic pork chops deliver the perfect balance of sweetness and tang—an easy, flavorful dinner your family will request again and again.
