If you want juicy, tender, flavorful pork chops, but don’t want to go outside to grill them, this recipe is for you!
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons honey
4 cloves garlic minced
2 Tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium works great for this recipe)
1 Tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
4 (4 ounces each) bone-in pork chops, fat trimmed
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 400F. In a small bowl, combine honey, garlic, soy sauce, ketchup, chili sauce, and oregano. Mix until thoroughly combined. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chops. Heat olive oil in an oven safe 12-inch skillet (I used cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops only (reserve the sauce for later) to the skillet. Sear chops on both sides until just browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add the sauce and let simmer until just beginning to thicken, about one minute. Remove from heat, add the butter, and place pork chops in the preheated oven. Cook for an additional 15 to 18 minutes, or until cooked through. Pork chops are done when internal temperature reaches 160F. Remove from oven and spoon the sauce over the chops, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Enjoy!
