Instructions

Step 1: Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry 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 until shimmering, then add the pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F). Remove chops to a plate and tent with foil.
Step 3: In the same skillet over medium heat, add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp Missouri honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them, cooking for 1-2 minutes to rewarm and caramelize the sauce.
Step 6: Serve chops topped with the honey-mustard glaze alongside roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
