Honey Mustard Pork Chops
This honey mustard pork chops recipe has a picky eater approved sweet and savory sauce that's made with everyday ingredients! It's another budget-friendly 30-minute meal.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops see note
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard see note
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Chopped parsley optional, to taste
Instructions
- Take the pork chops out of the fridge 15-30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Season the pork chops with the garlic powder and salt & pepper on both sides.
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl (honey, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, cornstarch).
- Add the oil and butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is HOT, add the pork chops to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes/side until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops that are up to 1" thick).
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the sauce into the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the pork is cooked through (at least 145F) and the sauce has thickened.
- Sprinkle parsley over top if using and season with extra salt & pepper as needed.
Notes
- You can swap the Dijon mustard with another variety of mustard, but keep in mind the sharpness of the Dijon does offset some of the sweetness of the honey, and some mustards may make the dish super sweet.
- Use boneless pork chops or bone-in. I suggest using pork chops that are 0.75-1″ thick. Anything much thicker or thinner is likely to end up under or overcooked so you will need to tweak recipe timing.
