Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 4 bone-in pork chops dry and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until a rich golden crust forms and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp New Mexico chili powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium-low, add 1 tbsp unsalted butter to the skillet, and pour the chili honey glaze over the pork chops. Spoon the glaze over the chops for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the meat.
  5. Step 5: Remove chops from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm with the glaze drizzled over.
