Honey garlic glazed pork chops are quick and easy - perfect for busy weeknights - and that sweet, saucy glaze is a crowd-pleaser!

Total Time: 15 Minutes, Servings: 3 Servings

Ingredients :
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 Tablespoon)
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 4 boneless pork chops (3/4-1" thick)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil



Instructions :
  • To make the glass, whisk the honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and soy sauce together in a bowl, or shake it up in a jar. (This step can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you're ready to cook the pork chops.)
  • Heat 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil in a large (12") skillet over medium to medium-high heat, until the oil shimmers.
  • Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Carefully add them to the skillet and let them brown (3-4 minutes).
  • When they're nicely browned on the first side, flip them over and sear the second side, 3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the glaze. Use a spatula to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet and stir them into the glaze.
  • Allow the chops to simmer until cooked through, about 4-8 minutes, depending on their thickness.
  • When the chops are done (see notes below on temperature), remove them to a plate.
  • Continue to simmer the glaze until it's thick enough for a spatula to leave a momentary trail if you scrape the bottom of the pan (about the consistency of pancake syrup).
  • Pour the glaze directly over the chops on the serving plate, or serve it on the side!
  • SPECIAL NOTE: Pork needs to be cooked to 145*, but the pork chops will continue to cook after they've been removed from the pan, so if they're in the neighborhood of 130* when you take their temperature (pick up a chop with tongs and insert a meat thermometer through the side of the chop), it's safe to take them out of the pan. Or, cut into one of the chops - I look for the center to be barely pink so they can cook the rest of the way as they rest.
