Pork Chops with Sweet and Sour Glaze
Description
These are the easiest pork chops to make and can be on the table in about 20 minutes. The secret to make them juicy and tender is to give them a good sear in melted butter and then roast them in the oven. Finish them off with an incredible sweet and sour
Ingredients
4 - 8 oz. bone-in pork chops, 3⁄4 - 1 inch thick, patted dry
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 T. unsalted butter
Glaze:
1⁄4 c. balsamic vinegar
3 T. honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1⁄2 t. dried oregano
1⁄2 t. dried basil
1⁄2 t. dried thyme
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, optional

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper, to taste.
Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear one side of the pork chops until golden brown, 2 - 3 minutes. Flip chops over; transfer to the oven. If you don’t have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the pork chops to a baking dish to roast.
Roast chops until completely cooked through, 8 - 10 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chops, but will be done when the temperature reaches 140 degrees with a thermometer inserted horizontally in the center.
While pork chops are roasting, make the sweet and sour glaze:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together vinegar, honey, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, and red pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring sauce to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Serve pork chops immediately, drizzled with the sweet and sour glaze.
