Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 10 minutesServes: 4
Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the chicken broth to the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Stir in the maple glaze mixture and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Return the pork chops to the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, occasionally spooning the glaze over the chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
7. Remove from heat and add the butter, swirling the pan to melt and incorporate it into the glaze.
8. Serve the pork chops drizzled with the remaining glaze from the pan.
