Cooking steps

1

Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2

Lightly dredge each pork chop in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the pork chops and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
4

Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the same pan and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
5

Add honey, soy sauce, and water to the pan, stirring constantly to deglaze and combine. Let simmer for 1 minute.
6

Return pork chops to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Simmer on low heat for 3–5 minutes, flipping occasionally, until sauce is thickened and chops are glazed.
7

Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The star of this recipe is boneless pork chops, which provide a juicy, tender base that soaks up the honey garlic glaze. Complemented by honey and garlic, these ingredients together give the dish its signature sweet and savory character.

Q. How do I get the perfect glaze without burning the garlic?

After browning the pork chops, lower the heat before adding the garlic and stir only for about 30 seconds. This avoids burning, which can make the sauce bitter. Then, add honey, soy sauce, and water, allowing safe reduction without scorching.

Q. How can I keep these pork chops moist and tender?

Don’t overcook the pork—just 3–4 minutes per side on medium-high heat ensures browning without drying them out. A short simmer in the sauce on low heat finishes the cooking while keeping juices sealed in.

Q. How many calories and protein are in each serving?

Each serving contains 315 kcal and 32g of protein, with 19g carbs (24% of calories) and 10g fat (35%). It’s a high-protein meal suitable for active lifestyles and balanced eating.
