Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 medium fresh peaches
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt. Dice the peaches (remove the pits) and add them to the pan.
Stir in the honey, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, garlic powder, and chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the sauce begins to thicken.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the peach mixture. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops and let them cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme over the dish before serving.
Serve the pork chops warm, topped with the peach glaze and extra sauce on the side. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a green salad for a complete meal.
