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.

Ingredients
 

  • 4 boneless pork loin center chops (about 1" thick)
  • 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

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle the pork chops with  pepper, and then dredge them in 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. Cook it for 3-4 minutes/side or until it has a nice golden crust.
  • Take the pork chops out of the pan and set aside. 
  • 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. 
  • Add the pork back to the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low (or low heat if it's cast iron), cover the pan, and let the pork cook for 3 minutes or until it's fully cooked. 

Notes

  • I used boneless pork chops, but you could definitely use bone-in ones. If your pork chops are slightly thicker or slightly less thick than the ones I bought (mine were about 1" thick), adjust cooking time accordingly. 
  • I used my trusty 10-1/4" Lodge cast iron skillet to make this recipe.

    Excited to try this! We usually just do the shake and bake style, so this will be a nice change. And its all stuff I have on hand, so I don't have to go to the store, which is a huge plus!

    It was easy and delicious! There’s enough sauce to pour over veggies. I made spaghetti squash with it and it was a perfect dinner.

    Thanks! I have cooked pork chops using soy sauce but never thought of adding honey. I have tried Chinese 5 Spice on pork tenderloin and hubby loves that recipe so I will try on pork chops and see how that tastes.

    This was easy and tasty. My husband loved it, and he's already asked when I'll make it again! I served these with corn, brussel sprouts and couscous.

    I have 4 fussy eaters and every single one of them devoured this! And pork is usually a tough subject in this house (bad pun intended!). So thank you thank you thank you for giving me a recipe that diversifies their palette a little. LM x
