Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops (1-inch thick)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the fresh peach slices. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Stir in the honey, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes a glaze-like consistency.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them among the peach slices. Spoon some of the glaze over the top of the chops.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer for 8-10 minutes or until their internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the chops rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
Serve the pork chops hot, topped with peach slices and drizzled with extra glaze. Enjoy!
