Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 bone-in pork chops and season both sides with 1.5 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove from skillet and cover loosely with foil.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 1 cup apple cider, 2 tbsp honey, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze reduces by half and thickens.
  4. Step 4: Return pork chops to the skillet, spoon glaze over them, and cook for 1-2 minutes to coat and reheat.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 lb trimmed green beans and sauté for 6-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Step 6: Serve the glazed pork chops alongside the sautéed green beans.
