Ingredients

• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 2 cups Swiss chard
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels and season it evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar to create the glaze.

Step 5

Brush half of the glaze over the pork tenderloin, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 6

Roast the pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Halfway through, brush the remaining glaze over the pork.

Step 7

While the pork is roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 8

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the Swiss chard and baby spinach to the skillet. Pour in the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted and tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Season the wilted greens with a pinch of salt and pepper, then drizzle with lemon juice.

Step 11

Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Serve the honey glazed pork tenderloin alongside the wilted greens and enjoy!
