Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 0.5 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Set the glaze aside.

Step 3

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season lightly with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 6

Pour the maple glaze over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and spoon the glaze from the pan over the pork chops to coat them thoroughly.

Step 9

Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, and serve warm.
