Ingredients

• 3 center-cut boneless pork chops (approximately 15 oz total)
  
  

• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  
  

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  
  

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  
  

• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

1. Season the Pork Chops: Generously season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
   
   

2. Cook the Pork Chops: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
   
   

3. Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the melted butter, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
   
   

4. Glaze the Pork Chops: Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for 2–3 minutes, turning the chops to ensure they are evenly coated with the sauce.
   
   

5. Serve: Transfer the pork chops to serving plates. Spoon any remaining sauce over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
