Honey Garlic Pork Chops

Love then honey garlic together.   I also like the crispy caramelized edges around the pork chops.   Quick  to make is a plus.

HONEY GARLIC PORK CHOPS

(serves 4)

Ingredients;

*4 boneless center cut porks

*1 teaspoon salt

*1 teaspoon ground black pepper

*1 teaspoon garlic powder

*3 teaspoons olive oil

Directions:

~Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder over both sides of pork chops.

~Set oven to broil medium-high heat.

~Heat an ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot.

~Add oil to pan and allow to heat up for 20-30 seconds.

~Sear pork chops on each side (about 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness of chop).

~Remove pork chops from pan.

~Reduce heat to medium-low.

~Add butter and garlic into pan, stirring constantly (for about 30-40 seconds).

~Turn up heat to medium-high and stir in honey, chicken stock and vinegar, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it.

Variation:

`squeeze a little fresh lime juice over pork chops when they come out of the oven.
