I have been searching for The Best Juicy Skillet Pork Chops recipe for a long time. I finally think I have found it and I am happy to share it with you today. Pork chops are one of those ingredients that taste amazing when cooked correctly, but often they can end up dry and tough. I am going to share my foolproof recipe for juicy pork chops every time.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper to begin. Leave them to rest for 30 minutes. While the chops are resting, make a spice rub to flavor them. Cook the pork in a skillet with a lid on. Once the chops are cooked, transfer them to a plate and cover with aluminium foil. Make a sauce in the skillet using chicken stock, cider vinegar, honey and butter. Serve with mashed potatoes on the side.
To make The Best Juicy Skillet Pork Chops, you will need the following ingredients:
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Leave the chops to rest for 30 minutes.
Mix 1 tablespoon of flour with ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon each of chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder together in a small bowl.
After 30 minutes, dry the pork chops with a paper towel. Rub them on both sides with the spice rub.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet (with a lid) over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until golden. If there is a strip of fat on the side, hold the pork chop fat side down for 30 seconds until the fat browns.
Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 6 - 12 minutes while covered.To check if the chops are cooked, cut into the biggest one and check that the juices run clear.
Place the pork chops on a plate. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and leave to rest for about 5 minutes.
Turn the heat under the pan up to medium-high. Add 1 cup of chicken stock, 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 2 teaspoons of honey. Scrape any bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it reduces by half. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, more vinegar or honey if necessary. Remove the skillet off from the heat and swirl in the butter. Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce on top.
Serve garnished with freshly chopped parsley with mashed potatoes on the side.
