# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Main
01 -
4 boneless or bone-in pork chops, approximately 2 inches thick
02 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
03 -
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
04 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Sauce
05 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
06 -
1/4 cup honey
07 -
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
08 -
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
09 -
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
10 -
1 teaspoon dried thyme
11 -
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 -
Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, and thyme. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
04 -
Return pork chops to skillet. Spoon sauce over them and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, basting continuously.
05 -
Transfer chops to serving plate. Spoon remaining sauce over the top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Use a meat thermometer to ensure pork reaches a safe internal temperature of 145°F at its thickest part.
02 -
Bone-in chops are more flavorful but require slightly longer cooking than boneless cuts.
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
