Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Step 1

To a small bowl, add honey, soy sauce, garlic, onion, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Whisk together to combine. Set aside.

Step 2

Evenly season both sides of pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

To a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. Once hot, sear the seasoned pork chops on one side until it forms a golden crust. To prevent sticking, wait for the pork to form a crust naturally before attempting to flip it, around 3-5 minutes. The pork will release from the skillet once a proper sear has formed. Flip pork and cook on the other side for 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce heat to medium. Add the honey garlic sauce. Continue cooking the pork chops, occasionally basting them with the honey garlic sauce, until their internal temperature reaches 145°F (about 5 additional minutes). Depending on the size of the pork chops, cooking times may vary.

Step 5

Serve pork chops, spooning sauce over the tops. Garnish with parsley.
