Honey Garlic Boneless Pork Chops

INGREDIENTS:

4 boneless pork chops

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ginger, minced (optional for extra flavor)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger (if using). This will be your flavorful marinade.

Season the pork chops with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the pork chops are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you have more time, marinate them for up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them in the hot skillet.

Cook the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice caramelized exterior. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

While the pork chops are cooking, you can pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens into a glaze.

Once the pork chops are done, drizzle the honey garlic glaze over them, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Serve your Honey Garlic Boneless Pork Chops hot with your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
