Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature while you prepare the sauce ingredients.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt, then stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chicken broth to the skillet. Whisk together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Slowly add this to the skillet, whisking constantly to thicken the sauce. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and let the pork chops rest for 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve the pork chops warm with the ginger maple sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
