Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside for a few minutes to let the seasoning penetrate the meat.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the pork chops. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chops are well-browned and an instant-read thermometer registers 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the thickest part. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the diced peaches, honey, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Cook the peach mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 5
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the peach glaze over the top. Let the chops cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 6
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
Step 7
Serve the Spicy Peach Pork Chops warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
