Golden Gate Chops

Instructions

1. Start by patting the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear the chops for about 3-4 minutes per side until they develop a nice golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add the chicken broth, honey, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

4. Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover the skillet. Let the chops cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Stir the sauce in the skillet to combine all the delicious flavors.

6. To serve, spoon the warm sauce over the pork chops, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
