Servings: 4 pork chops
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops bone-in or boneless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.
- Season the pork chops evenly with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in the hot skillet and sear for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet and stir until melted.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
- Stir in the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, honey, and chopped rosemary. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Add the rosemary sprigs, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Bake for 7–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For additional caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes before removing from the oven.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
