Ingredients
Scale:
For the Marinade:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Pork Chops:
4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Prepare the Honey Mustard Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Marinate the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the honey mustard marinade over the pork chops, ensuring each piece is well coated. Massage the marinade into the meat gently and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat the Cooking Surface: When ready to cook, preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the Pork Chops: Remove the pork chops from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Glaze the Chops: In the last few minutes of cooking, brush additional honey mustard sauce over the pork chops for a delicious glaze.
Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
