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.

Notes

Alternative Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 390°F. Sear the seasoned pork chops in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side, or until nicely browned. Remove the pork chops and prepare the honey garlic sauce in the same skillet following Step 3 above.

Return the pork chops to the skillet and baste generously with the sauce. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for approximately 10–15 minutes, or until the pork reaches your desired doneness. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
