Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 medium fresh peaches
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops and set them aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt. Dice the peaches (remove the pits) and add them to the pan.

Step 4

Stir in the honey, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, garlic powder, and chicken broth. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches soften and the sauce begins to thicken.

Step 5

Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the peach mixture. Spoon some of the sauce over the chops and let them cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle fresh thyme over the dish before serving.

Step 7

Serve the pork chops warm, topped with the peach glaze and extra sauce on the side. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or a green salad for a complete meal.
