The Best Juicy Skillet Pork Chops
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.

Delicious and easy- even the kids liked them!
Great recipe really enjoyed it thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Super unique dish never thought to make any meat with honey before always thought it was left for desserts but now I know to explore new things!
Didn't add parsley or use olive oil instead I used sunflower and ditched the greens all together, was fine without them and I have plans to make these again.
Amazingly tasty and simple to make can't get enough of these bad boys.
Didn't really like the texture so much as the mustard grilled pork chops but it was tasty.
Can't say I'm a huge fan of pork but these were amazing thx.
Husband is a huge fan of these with some brown rice and corn, very flavorful and easy to make.
Wasn't sure I'd be able to recreate these amazingly juicy pork chops just like the photo but I did! Not only did they look good but they tasted good too :)
My family is obsessed with these, I end up making them every weekend for our BBQ hangouts.
Loved the flavor of these juicy pork chops, just as much as the honey garlic ones but those are still my number one haha.
Sooo good with some bbq sauce or hot sauce, love them a lot.
I decided to go with this juicy pork chop recipe and the lemon sponge cake for dessert. both were tasty.
Brought these to work the day after and have to say they were actually delicious even cold with some lemon squeezed on the top.
This is the BOMB! Love all the recipes on this website everything is so simple to make and tasty.
These were actually kinda spicy due to the amount of chili but I absolutely loved them!
Heavenly pork chops, makes my mouth water just thinking about how tasty they were and now I'm hungry again,LOL!
Took me longer than what's written so I'd write about 2 hours instead of just 45 minutes.
Good dish if you're a fan of slightly spicy pork chops, my brother loved it a lot but I wasn't a big fan sadly so I think I'll be making it only for the family dinners.
I like how it doesn't take too long to make these compared to a few other recipes I know on this site so I'm happy with the prepartion time and the taste.
Kids are obsessed with these pork chops if I make them with some baked potatoes, sourcream and cheese they gobble it all up in under 5 minutes!
Well done! Verified!
