• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless)

1 pinch salt (to season)

1 pinch pepper (to season)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic (minced)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar, or any white vinegar)

1-2 tablespoons water (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven broiler (or grill) to medium-high heat. Season the chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking.

Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear chops until golden on each side and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes on each side). Transfer to a plate; set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the honey, broth, and vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes) while stirring occasionally. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if the sauce thickens too much.

Add pork back to the pan, baste generously with the sauce, and broil/grill for 1-2 minutes or until edges are slightly charred.

Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta, or salad.
