Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Season the pork chops on both sides with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and fresh thyme.
Add olive oil to the heated skillet and swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden-brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir for 30 seconds to release the aroma.
Pour the prepared Dijon-honey mixture over the pork chops, making sure to coat them evenly.
Simmer the pork chops in the sauce for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping them once during the process, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional thyme if desired, and enjoy your flavorful Dijon Honey Chops!
