Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4 oz each) Boneless pork chops
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.25 cups Cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) or 4 sprigs for garnish Fresh thyme
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F). Remove the pork chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the cider vinegar, honey, and chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the fresh thyme and return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top. Cook for 1-2 minutes more to reheat the pork chops and coat them in the glaze.
Plate the pork chops and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with additional thyme sprigs, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete, healthy meal.
