Easy Honey Garlic Pork Chops

This is the second Honey Garlic pork chop I've made this year. This was good, but the first one I made was way better. 

I grilled my chops instead of bake or broil them. If I have an option, it's grilling every time. I added some lemon pepper to the chops because I had it out for the asparagus. Overall, this was good.

plate, not a regular dinner plate.

• 4 pork chops bone in or out
• Salt and pepper, to season
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 T olive oil
• 1 T unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 c honey
• 1/4 c water (or chicken broth)
• 2 T rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar, or any white vinegar)

Preheat oven broiler (or grill) on medium-high heat. Season chops with salt, pepper and garlic powder just before cooking.

Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium high heat until hot. Sear chops on both sides until golden and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes each side). Transfer to a plate; set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the honey, water and vinegar. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until the sauce reduces down and thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes), while stirring occasionally.

Add pork back into the pan, baste generously with the sauce and broil/grill for 1-2 minutes, or until edges are slightly charred.

Garnish with parsley and serve over vegetables, rice, pasta or with a salad.
