Honey Mustard Pork Chops

My Honey Mustard Pork Chops recipe is the perfect example of this: tender, juicy chops coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze that practically melts in your mouth. It’s the kind of meal that hits all the right notes—savory, slightly sweet, and packed with flavor—without requiring hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 –6 center-cut boneless pork chops
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

Method
 

Make the honey mustard sauce:
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the honey and mustard. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Preheat the pan:
  1. Place a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering.
Season and sear the pork chops:
  1. Sprinkle garlic powder evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Place them in the hot skillet and cook for 3 minutes on the first side without moving them to get a nice sear.
Flip and sear:
  1. Turn the pork chops over and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
Add the honey mustard glaze:
  1. Using a basting brush, generously coat both sides of each pork chop with the prepared honey mustard sauce.
Cook with glaze:
  1. Let the pork chops cook for another 5 minutes on one side, then flip and brush the other side with more sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly and coat the chops.
Rest the pork chops:
  1. Remove the pork chops from the pan and let them rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Serve:
  1. Plate the pork chops, spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.
  2. Enjoy!
