Ingredients for Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops

Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops are extra amazing because they’re made with simple ingredients you most likely already have! We use thin, bone-in pork chops, which means a quick cook time. Whether you’re in need of a quick and delicious Sunday supper or you’re running behind on a weekday evening, these glazed pork chops will make everything alright.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

• thin-cut, bone-in pork chops
• course salt
• ground black pepper
• smoked paprika
• canola oil
• butter
• garlic cloves, grated or minced
• dry white wine
• honey
• fresh thyme leaves
• chopped parsley and thyme sprigs for garnish

Let’s make them!

We make these Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops in a cast-iron skillet, which isn’t a must, but we do love using it because it helps distribute heat evenly.

Follow these simple steps, and be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to check out the full recipe:

1. Prep the pork chops:Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. In a small dish, combine the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Season both sides of the pork chops.
   
2. Sear the pork chops:Heat a large cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once it’s hot, sear the pork chops for one minutes per side. Transfer them to a plate and cover them with foil to keep warm.
   
3. Make the glaze:Turn the stovetop down to medium and melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds and then pour in the wine and honey. Increase the heat, bring the sauce to a boil and reduce until it thickens a bit (about five minutes). Remove from heat, stir in the thyme leaves, and then return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the hot sauce on top of the pork chops to reheat them. Serve immediately with sauce on the side.

How do you cook pork chops without drying them out?

The key to juicy pork chops is to not overcook them. We like to give these pork chops a good sear in the skillet at first, and then they continue cooking as they rest covered with foil.

Pork is done once it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (contrary to the older USDA guidelines which recommended 165°F). We always recommend having a meat thermometer handy. However, these are thinner pork chops instead of the thick, bone-in kind, and they will cook really fast.

Do you struggle with tough pork chops?

Pork chops are very lean and they will dry out if they get over-cooked. And a dry pork chop=a tough pork chop! These thin-cut pork chops will cook especially fast but that also means dinner will be on the table sooner.

What goes well with pork chops?

These Honey Garlic Glazed Pork Chops will work with almost any type of side dish! You’ve got your classic sides of the carb variety: like make-ahead mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, or how about a side of air fried french fries? And for a few vegetable-forward dishes, check out this Roasted Romanesco with Parmesan Panko, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Carrots, or our Honey Roasted Carrots with Sage.

My main point: Honey Garlic Glaze Pork Chops are where it’s at, and so good you’ll be looking forward to leftovers. That sweet and garlicky glaze is sticky, saucy and irresistible!

Enjoy, friends. More proof that dinnertime is the best time of the day. 😉
