Main Ingredients

4 pieces bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
to taste Salt
to taste Ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season them well with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.

Cooking

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir well, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the butter until melted.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Brine the pork chops beforehand for extra flavor and moisture. You can swap apple cider vinegar with apple juice for a sweeter twist. Make sure to check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer to ensure they're not overcooked.
