Easy Honey Garlic Pork Chops Recipe

This easy pork chop recipe can be made for supper on busy days for a delicious and simple meal. The sweetness of honey balances the sharpness of garlic, creating a blend of flavors that’s irresistible. Soy sauce gives the flavor a touch of saltiness but you could use teriyaki sauce, instead. To make these pork chops, they’re seasoned on all sides and then seared in a hot skillet until golden brown, which locks in their juices and gives them a nice crust. The result is a dish with a tender, juicy pork chop and a luscious glaze that makes every bite satisfying. How to make simple Honey Garlic Pork Chops: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

How to Make the BEST Honey Garlic Pork Chops Recipe

Key ingredients you’ll need to make juicy Honey Garlic Pork Chops: Four 6-8 ounce boneless pork chops (around 3/4-inch thick), seasoned salt, granulated garlic, onion powder, black pepper, unsalted butter, garlic, honey, apple juice, soy sauce OR teriyaki sauce, apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, light brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes and sliced green onions for garnishing.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large 12-inch skillet, measuring cups and spoons, small bowl, whisk and tongs or turning spatula.
The sauce is designed to reduce and thicken to create a glossy, flavorful glaze to coat the pork chops. You can thicken it further by adding more tomato paste 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired thickness.
In this recipe I use a thicker pork chop that’s boneless. You can make this easy recipe using thinner pork chops and simply adjust the cooking time to accommodate.
Serving suggestions: Honey Garlic Pork Chops are usually served with side dishes that complement the sweet and savory sauce. Dishes you might consider, cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables. The sauce can also be spooned over the sides for extra flavor.
The honey garlic sauce easily doubles, if you want a larger quantity.
If the pork chops cook quicker than the sauce reduces, once the pork chops are done, remove them from the pan and keep warm. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes longer to reduce and thicken to your liking.
Storage and Leftovers: Store pork chops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
