HONEY MUSTARD PORK CHOPS

(from cokerlj’s recipe box)

The recipe said to cook pork chops in the oven for 5 minutes, until they reached 145 degrees. It took a good 15 minutes. Think it might have been because I used bone-in chops. Husband loved the sauce, he kept dipping his meat into the sauce on the serving platter!

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 (1 inch thick) center cut boneless pork chops (I used bone-in pork chops) (I will adjust recipe for just 2 pork chops.)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup sherry vinegar (used red wine vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard (just used plain Dijon)
  • Garnish: chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. In a small bowl, stir together salt, garlic powder, and peppers. Rub mixture on both sides of pork chops.

  3. In a large non-stick oven proof skillet, heat oil over medium high heat. Add pork; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.

  4. In a small bowl, stir together honey, vinegar, and mustard; pour onto pork.

  5. Bake until a meat thermometer inserted in center registers 145 degrees, about 5 minutes. (Took a good 15 minutes.) Transfer pork to a serving platter and keep warm. Return skillet to medium high heat; cook until pan juices have reduced and thickened, about 3 minutes. Drizzle onto pork, and garnish with parsley, if desired.
