Here’s a delicious, easy-to-follow guide to making honey glazed pork chops:
🍯 Honey Glazed Pork Chops Recipe
Ingredients (for 4 servings)
- 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, ~1 inch thick)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional for tang)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (thyme or parsley)
Instructions
- Prep the Pork Chops
- Pat chops dry with a paper towel.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Chops
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork chops for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Make the Honey Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, and Dijon mustard.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, pour glaze over pork chops.
- Cook Through
- Cook another 3–5 minutes, spooning glaze over chops occasionally.
- Pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Serve
- Drizzle remaining glaze over pork chops.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.
🍽 Tips for Perfect Pork Chops
- Do not overcook — pork becomes dry if cooked beyond 150°F.
- Use bone-in chops for more flavor.
- For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes after glazing.
