Hubby’s latest craze! Only just began making this and he’s requested it 5 times already.
After a bustling weekday, there’s nothing quite like the comfort of a home-cooked meal that’s both delicious and easy to whip up. That’s why I adore these honey mustard pork chops! Pork chops are a fantastic choice for a quick yet satisfying dinner, and adding a honey mustard glaze gives them a delightful balance of sweetness and tanginess. This dish is a hit in my house and I think it’ll be in yours too, especially when you’re looking for something that feels a little special without too much fuss.
These honey mustard pork chops pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. For a hearty meal, I love serving them with garlic mashed potatoes or a warm rice pilaf. If you’re looking for something lighter, a crisp green salad or steamed green beans are fabulous choices. And don’t forget a chunk of crusty bread to soak up any extra glaze from the plate!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon butter
Directions
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the honey mustard mixture. Continue to cook until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 more minutes.
Serve the pork chops with the glaze spooned over the top.
Variations & Tips
For an extra kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. If you’re a fan of a more robust mustard flavor, increase the Dijon mustard to 1/3 cup. For those who prefer a sweeter glaze, upping the honey to 1/3 cup will do the trick. And if you’re out of apple cider vinegar, feel free to use white wine vinegar or even lemon juice for a fresh twist.
