Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Season both sides of the boneless pork chops with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt over medium-low heat.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the honey-lemon sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for 2 more minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
