Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 0.33 cup pecans (chopped and toasted)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Dredge the pork chops lightly in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the pork chops in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the honey and minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to create a smooth glaze. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top. Let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the pork chops and cook for 1 more minute.
Serve the pork chops hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Pair with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
