Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Rub both sides of the pork chops with olive oil, and season evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.

Step 4

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Stir well to create a sauce and bring it to a simmer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Gradually add this slurry to the sauce, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Return the pork chops to the skillet, spoon some sauce over them, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
