A simple and satisfying recipe featuring juicy pork chops glazed with a sweet and tangy honey garlic sauce, paired with crisp roasted broccolini. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 bunch broccolini (about 8 ounces), trimmed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional pinch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Trim the ends of the broccolini and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  4. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  6. Place pork chops in the skillet and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for 3 minutes.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour the honey garlic glaze over the pork chops, and spoon it over the meat as it cooks for another 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and becomes sticky. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  8. Place the broccolini in the preheated oven and roast for 10-12 minutes until edges are crisp and stems are tender.
  9. If pork chops aren’t fully cooked, transfer the skillet to the oven for 4-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Plate pork chops with a generous spoonful of glaze and a side of roasted broccolini.

Notes

Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor. Watch the heat carefully when adding the glaze to avoid burnt garlic. Rest pork chops for 5 minutes after cooking to keep them juicy. Roasting broccolini separately keeps it crisp. For gluten-free, swap soy sauce with tamari. Maple syrup can substitute honey but changes flavor. Adjust roasting time if broccolini stems are thick.
