Easy Honey Garlic Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 pork chops bone in or out
• Salt and pepper, to season
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup water (or chicken broth)
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar, or any white vinegar)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven broiler (or grill) on medium-high heat. Season chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder just before cooking.
2. Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium high heat until hot. Sear chops on both sides until golden and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes each side). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Saut� garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the honey, water and vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces down and thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes), while stirring occasionally.
4. Add pork back into the pan, baste generously with the sauce and broil/grill for 1-2 minutes, or until edges are slightly charred.
5. Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta or with a salad.
