Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set this sweet mustard sauce aside.
Pat dry the pork chops with paper towels and season them lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared sweet mustard sauce over the pork chops, ensuring each chop is well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven carefully and let the pork chops rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
