These Honey Garlic Pork Chops are quick, easy, and seriously addictive. Tender pork chops are seasoned with garlic and seared until beautifully golden, then coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce made with fresh garlic, honey, butter, and rice wine vinegar. The result is a delicious combination of caramelized edges and a rich, flavorful sauce.
This is one of those meals that comes together quickly but tastes like you spent much more time in the kitchen. Serve the chops with steamed vegetables, rice, pasta, or a simple salad to soak up every bit of that delicious honey garlic sauce.
Honey Garlic Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 6 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- salt and pepper
- parsley chopped, Optional for garish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler or grill to medium-high heat. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder just before cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the honey, water, and rice wine vinegar. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and baste generously with the sauce.
- Place the skillet under the broiler or on the grill for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully, until the edges are caramelized and slightly charred.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with vegetables, rice, pasta, or a salad.
