If you love quick and tasty dinners, this Honey Mustard Pork Chops Recipe is perfect.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Pork Chops
- Pat pork chops dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly.
Mix the Honey Mustard Sauce
- In a bowl, combine honey and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Heat the Pan
- Add olive oil to a skillet. Heat on medium until oil shimmers and is hot.
Sear the Pork Chops
- Place pork chops in the pan. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Add the Sauce
- Pour honey mustard sauce over pork chops. Coat each chop evenly with the sauce using a spoon.
Simmer and Cook Through
- Reduce heat to low. Cover the pan and cook for 8–10 minutes. Turn chops halfway through.
Check Doneness
- Use a meat thermometer. Pork should reach 145°F (63°C) for safe and juicy results.
Rest the Pork Chops
- Remove chops from pan. Let rest 3–5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve warm with your favorite sides or salad.
Enjoy Your Meal
- Take a bite and enjoy the sweet and tangy flavor of tender pork chops.
Notes
- Use fresh pork chops for the best flavor.
- Do not overcook; pork chops become dry quickly.
- Stir sauce frequently to prevent burning.
- Bone-in chops stay juicier than boneless.
- Optional: add a splash of apple cider vinegar for extra tang.
