Make quick, juicy pork chops with a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze. This recipe is simple enough for a weeknight dinner but flavorful enough for company.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Place the pork chops in the hot skillet. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. While the pork chops sear, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl to create the homemade honey mustard sauce.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour half of the honey mustard sauce over the pork chops in the skillet. Let it simmer for 1 minute, turning the chops to coat them in the glaze.
  6. Continue cooking until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, about 3 to 5 more minutes depending on thickness.
  7. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
  8. Warm the remaining half of the honey mustard sauce slightly if needed, and drizzle it over the rested pork chops before serving.

Notes

  • For thick-cut pork chops (over 1.5 inches), you may need to finish them in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven after searing to reach the correct internal temperature without burning the glaze.
  • If you prefer baked pork chops, mix the glaze ingredients, coat the chops, and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Serve these sweet and tangy pork chops with roasted green beans or mashed potatoes.
