Honey garlic pork chops are a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the sweetness of honey with the savory taste of garlic. Here’s a simple recipe to make honey garlic pork chops:
Ingredients:
– 4 pork chops
– 3 tablespoons honey
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional).
Instructions.
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place the pork chops in a baking dish or an oven-safe skillet.
4. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the pork chops, making sure to coat them evenly on both sides. You can use a brush or the back of a spoon to spread the sauce.
5. Let the pork chops marinate in the sauce for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
7. Transfer the skillet or baking dish with the pork chops into the preheated oven.
8. Bake the pork chops for about 15-20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops, so it’s best to use a meat thermometer to ensure they’re cooked through.
9. Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
10. Serve the honey garlic pork chops with some of the sauce drizzled over the top. You can garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added freshness and color.
These honey garlic pork chops pair well with steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy your delicious meal!
