Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic to create the glaze.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and carefully pour the chicken broth into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Stir in the honey-mustard glaze and allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, thickening slightly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each chop to coat them well.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, flipping the pork chops halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Add the butter to the skillet, swirling it into the sauce for extra richness. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Remove the pork chops from the skillet and serve with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice.
