Ingredients
For the Honey Garlic Marinade:
¼ cup honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
½ tsp black pepper
For the Pork Chops:
2-4 boneless or bone-in pork chops
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sautéed Vegetables:
1 cup broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, sliced
½ cup sliced mushrooms
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, mix honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and black pepper. Set aside.
2. Marinate the Pork Chops
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, season with salt and pepper, and coat them with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Sear the Pork Chops
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter. Place the pork chops in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Reduce the heat and pour in any remaining marinade, allowing it to simmer and coat the pork for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same pan, add olive oil and toss in the vegetables. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet crisp.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Plate the pork chops with the sautéed vegetables, drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the top, and serve warm.
Cooking Tips for the Best Results
🔥 Get the Perfect Sear – A hot pan is key to achieving a caramelized crust on the pork chops.
⏳ Don’t Overcook – Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for juicy pork.
🌿 Experiment with Vegetables – Swap in zucchini, asparagus, or snap peas based on what you have.
🥄 Enhance the Sauce – Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat or a splash of sesame oil for an extra depth of flavor.
Why This Recipe Works
One-pan cooking isn't just about convenience—it enhances flavor by allowing ingredients to cook together, infusing each bite with deliciousness. The honey garlic marinade not only flavors the pork but also tenderizes it, ensuring a juicy result. Sautéed vegetables add freshness and balance, making this meal both satisfying and nutritious.
If you’re short on time but still want a homemade meal packed with flavor, this One-Pan Honey Garlic Pork Chops recipe is a must-try. Give it a shot and enjoy a stress-free, delicious dinner!
