Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and carefully pour the chicken broth into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the honey-mustard glaze and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, thickening slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each chop to coat them well.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Add the butter to the skillet, swirling it into the sauce for extra richness. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and serve with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice.
