How to Make Boneless Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 15 oz (425g) center cut boneless pork chops (3 pork chops)
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley (for garnishing)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons warm water
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 3 dashes cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
2. Combine all the ingredients for the Honey Sauce, stirring thoroughly to mix well.
3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
4. Place the pork chops in the skillet and pan fry each side without moving for 3-4 minutes, or until they develop a golden brown crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
5. Push the pork chops to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter to the empty space. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté for about 10 seconds, until it just starts to turn light brown.
6. Then, pour in the Honey Garlic Sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to a thicker consistency and turns a rich amber brown color.
7. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Turn off the heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

How to Serve Boneless Pork Chops

Serve these boneless pork chops hot from the skillet. They pair perfectly with sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Drizzle any extra honey garlic sauce over the top for added flavor.

How to Store Boneless Pork Chops

If you have leftovers, let the pork chops cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the pork chops wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Tips to Make Boneless Pork Chops

• Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the pork chops to get that nice crust.
• Don’t move the pork chops around while they cook; let them sear properly.
• Feel free to adjust the honey and cayenne pepper levels based on your preference for sweetness and spice.

Variation

For a different flavor, try adding mustard or soy sauce to the honey sauce. You can also swap the Italian parsley for cilantro for a fresh twist.
