Instructions
- Step 1: Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Dredge each chop in 3 tbsp all-purpose flour, shaking off excess to create an even coating.
- Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add pork chops and sear for 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, then transfer skillet to preheated 400°F oven.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 tbsp honey, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth. Brush half the mixture over the seared pork chops.
- Step 5: Roast in oven for 12-15 minutes, basting with remaining honey-mustard sauce every 5 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145°F and sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
- Step 6: Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle with any pan juices and sprinkle with 1 tsp dried thyme before serving.
