Delicious Glazed Pork Chops Recipe - Easy and Flavorful

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 pieces pork chops (bone-in or boneless)
  • 1 cup apple cider (for the glaze)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the glaze

    In a saucepan, combine apple cider, brown sugar, soy sauce, cinnamon, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Season the pork chops

    Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for better flavor.
  3. Heat the skillet

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding the pork chops.
  4. Cook the pork chops

    Add the pork chops to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    Don't overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Glaze the pork chops

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Brush the glaze over the pork chops and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Rest and serve

    Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

    Serve with additional glaze on the side.
