Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork chops
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them sit for about 5 minutes while you prepare the glaze.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet.

Step 4

Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the honey glaze mixture.

Step 6

Simmer the glaze for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the top, ensuring they are well-coated. Allow the pork chops to heat through for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme before serving.

Step 9

Serve the honey glazed pork chops immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
