Ingredients
  

Pork Chops
  • 4 chops Boneless or bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Honey Garlic Glaze
  • 5-6 cloves Garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Pat the pork chops dry, then season both sides evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, then transfer them to a plate when nearly cooked.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 to 60 seconds, just until fragrant; do not let the garlic brown heavily.
  4. Stir in the honey, water or low-sodium chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  5. Return the pork chops and any collected juices to the pan. Simmer for 2 to 4 minutes, turning the chops several times, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork with a glossy glaze.
  6. Check the thickest part of the pork with an instant-read thermometer. Cook to 145°F (63°C), then rest the chops for 3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use pork chops of similar thickness so they finish at the same time. Honey can burn quickly over high heat, so reduce the heat before adding the glaze ingredients. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container and reheat gently with a splash of water or broth.
