Ingredients
  

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

1/4 cup honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Pork Chops: In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and grated ginger. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then place them in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).

    Preheat the Pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat while the pork is marinating.

      Cook the Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off (reserve the marinade for later). Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should read 145°F).

        Make the Sauce: After removing the pork chops, pour the reserved marinade into the same skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, allowing it to cook down for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

          Glaze the Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the honey garlic sauce. Cook for an additional minute, flipping to ensure they are well-glazed.

            Serve: Transfer the pork chops to a serving platter, drizzle with the sauce from the skillet, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
