Honey Glaze for Pork Chops Ingredients

Honey Garlic Pork Chops Instructions

1. Add olive oil to a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot and the oil is shimmering, add the pork chops.
2. Sear until slightly browned on both sides, with an internal temperature of 145°F as read by a meat thermometer. This takes about 5-6 minutes per side.
3. Remove the pork chops from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. While the pork chops rest, add lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, and garlic to the skillet. Let simmer for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring.
4. Add pork chops back to the skillet and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
5. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Tips for Making Pork Chops with Honey Glaze

• If you're worried about overcooking your pork chops, make sure to use a meat thermometer.
• If you prefer, you can also skip simmering the pork chops in the sauce and simply pour the sauce over the pork chops - so long as they have reached 145°F internally.
• You can use bone-in pork chops or boneless pork chops: either way works just fine.
• You won't need any additional salt or black pepper for this recipe.
• You can use either olive oil or avocado oil to cook the pork chops, but don't use butter. It burns too quickly.
• For the most tender pork, slice pork chops thinly.

How to Store Glazed Pork Chops

1. Let the honey glazed pork chops cool down.
2. If you'll eat them within a few days, store them in the fridge in a sealed container.
3. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them. Wrap each chop individually, then put them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
4. When you're ready to eat, thaw them in the fridge overnight.

How to Reheat Glazed Pork Chops

You can reheat them in the oven, microwave, or on the stovetop. To prevent them from drying out, consider adding a bit of moisture, such as a splash of broth or additional glaze, before reheating.

Internal Temperature for Pork Chops

Both bone-in and boneless pork chops require an internal temperature of 145°F to be cooked through. Although the standard used to be higher, you are over-cooking your pork if you cook it further than 145°F.

I always use an internal meat thermometer and this guide for the perfect pork chop temperature.
