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!).
