Honey Mustard Pork Chops are a delightful and flavorful dish that brings together the sweet and tangy notes of honey and mustard to create a succulent meal your family will love.
Ingredients
Scale:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated. Reserve the other half for later use. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat the Grill or Skillet: If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat (about 400°F). For skillet cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil to coat the bottom.
Cook the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place them on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Glaze the Pork Chops: During the last minute of cooking, brush the reserved honey mustard marinade over the pork chops for added flavor and a glossy finish.
Rest and Serve: Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
