– 4 boneless pork chops
– 1/4 cup honey
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
– Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)
– Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Creating Boneless Pork Chops with Honey Garlic Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and cornstarch (if using) until smooth.
3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
4. Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the pork chops in the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chops to coat them evenly.
5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with water in a separate bowl. Stir this mixture into the skillet and cook for an additional minute until thickened.
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the pork chops to a serving platter, drizzle with the sauce, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious pork chops while they’re hot!
These steps ensure a flavorful and satisfying dish that anyone can pull off with ease.
