Honey-glazed pork chops start with boneless center-cut pork. It's brushed with a spiced honey glaze and oven baked until tender.

I often don't get off of work until 8, meaning dinner may not hit the table until 9 or later, so thin cut pork chops are my go-to for nights when I want something quick but comforting to eat.

I love pork chops, especially glazed pork chops. They often look and feel fancy, yet are really quick and easy to prepare, not to mention, packed with flavor. As long as you don't treat them like your great aunt Edna used to, and cook them beyond recognition.

There are a lot of different cooking options for pork. Grilled, stir fried, and slow cooked are all delicious and easy ways, but if you want to glaze them, like I did with these honey-glazed pork chops, your best bet is to bake them in the oven.
