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.
Oh, and if you've ever wondered what part of the pig your pork is coming from, check out this cool diagram!
Honey-Glazed Pork Chops
Ingredients:
¼ cup honey- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- Cooking spray
- 4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut loin pork chops (about ½ inch thick)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low; add honey mixture. Cook 10 minutes or until done, turning pork once.
Seriously, these honey-glazed pork chops were that easy to make, people! We ate this with Handsome's weekly request of mac and cheese for a down home, stick to your ribs late night meal.
