These easy honey soy pork chops are fast, easy to make, and have the perfect savory-sweet sauce! Perfect for busy weeknights.
The honey-garlic-soy sauce for the chops is really simple to make. It has butter, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, and garlic. Ingredients you’re likely to have on-hand already, basically.

To make this boneless pork chops recipe, you sear the pork chops until they’re golden on each side, take them out of the pan, make the sauce, add the chops back to the pan, and then cover and cook a few minutes until they’re done. The whole process only takes about half an hour… not bad.
Recipe notes & tips:
- I used regular soy sauce and chicken broth for this recipe, and I found it was too salty (even for me, and that’s saying something!), so I strongly suggest using the low-sodium versions or serving this recipe with unsalted side dishes.
- Pork (especially boneless chops) is really easy to overcook. A bit of pink in the middle is fine! Pork is safe to eat at 145F, and I highly recommend getting an instant read meat thermometer so you never under or overcook it. Keep in mind that the temperature of meat continues to rise for a while after you stop cooking it, so if it’s just a little bit under 145F when you test, stop cooking it and let it rest for a few minutes if you’re worried about it being overdone.
Recipe side dish ideas:
These pork chops would be delicious served with steamed veggies or try my roasted green beans and mashed potatoes or rice.

Honey Soy Sauce Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- Pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or stock
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Sprinkle the pork chops with pepper, and then dredge them in the flour.
- Add 1 tbsp of the butter + the olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan's hot, add the pork. Sear the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops up to 1" thick), then transfer them to a plate.
- Take the pan off the heat and add the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and remaining butter. Return the pan to the heat and cook for about a minute.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water, then pour it into the skillet and give it a stir.
- Add the pork chops back to the pan (along with any juices on the plate) and continue cooking until the sauce has reduced a bit and the pork is fully cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. You may need to reduce the heat so it's not bubbling furiously. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I used boneless pork chops, but you could definitely use bone-in ones. If there's large, you may want to brown them in 2 batches.
- You can skip the flour dredge if needed, but it does help the meat brown quickly, keeps them juicy inside, and also helps thicken the sauce a bit (the cornstarch does most of the thickening work, however!).

Fantastic recipe! Simple and delicious. I doubled the sauce and made basmati rice with it. Can’t wait to make this again! Thank you!
You are very welcome, Lea!!
This has become my favorite way to prepare pork chops! Love this recipe, it’s so easy! The sauce is delicious and pairs well with rice and vegetables on the side. I like adding some red pepper flakes to the sauce to give an extra kick. We love pouring some of the sauce onto the rice as well. Thank you for this recipe!
I’m thrilled it’s a favorite, Tay!! You’re very welcome!
