Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in or boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly whisk the mixture into the sauce to thicken it slightly, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of each chop.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or pour the sauce over the pork chops in a baking dish if not using an ovenproof skillet).
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet or dish from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops with sauce drizzled on top and enjoy!
