Ingredients

• 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

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

Step 5

Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and reserve the marinade.

Step 6

Sear the pork chops in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 7

Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake the pork chops for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish the pork chops with chopped parsley and serve with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
