Preparation

  3. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat.
Cooking
  1. In the hot skillet, add a bit of oil and sear the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side for bone-in, or 3-4 minutes for boneless, until golden brown.
  2. Once seared, reduce the heat and add the honey, butter, garlic, and soy sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  3. Make sure to coat the pork chops with the sauce while simmering.
