Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless pork chops and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove chops and keep warm.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tbsp unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Return the pork chops to the pan, spoon the honey garlic herb sauce over them, and cook for 1 minute to glaze. Serve immediately with pan sauce drizzled on top.
