Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Recipe Description

These Honey Garlic Pork Chops are so amazing. Sweet and sticky, juicy and full of flavor. And they only take 22 minutes from start to finish! What’s not to love? I think honey and garlic is a winning combination flavorwise. This sauce has the added acidity of vinegar which cuts through the sweetness of the honey sauce slightly. 

Start by searing seasoned pork chops in a hot skillet. Remove the chops and place on a plate. Make the sauce in the same pan by melting butter and sautéing garlic before adding honey, water and vinegar. Increase the heat to thicken the sauce before returning the pork chops. I love to serve these chops with spaghetti and vegetables, but you could also serve it with pasta or potatoes. 

To make Honey Garlic Pork Chops, you will need the following ingredients:

I'd say this is easily one of my favorite recipes to make that involves pork, i'm usually a sirloin steak/beef kinda gal but these pork chops won me over.

Accidently used salted butter instead of unsalted but actually turned out just fine so no worries if you make the same mistake as I did.
