Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- pepper to taste
- flour for dredging
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or stock
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Sprinkle the pork chops with pepper, and then dredge them in the flour.
- Add 1 tbsp of the butter + the olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan's hot, add the pork. Sear the pork chops for 3-5 minutes/side or until golden (3 minutes for thinner chops and 5 minutes for pork chops up to 1" thick), then transfer them to a plate.
- Take the pan off the heat and add the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and remaining butter. Return the pan to the heat and cook for about a minute.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water, then pour it into the skillet and give it a stir.
- Add the pork chops back to the pan (along with any juices on the plate) and continue cooking until the sauce has reduced a bit and the pork is fully cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. You may need to reduce the heat so it's not bubbling furiously. Serve immediately.

Notes
- I used boneless pork chops, but you could definitely use bone-in ones. If there's large, you may want to brown them in 2 batches.
- You can skip the flour dredge if needed, but it does help the meat brown quickly, keeps them juicy inside, and also helps thicken the sauce a bit (the cornstarch does most of the thickening work, however!).
