Pork Chops With Sauce

These flavorful pork chops stay tender and juicy.  This is an easy to prepare recipe that your family will enjoy. 

Ingredients

4 pork chops
1 Tbs. flour
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 Tbs. oil
1 c. chicken stock or broth
1 Tbs. vinegar
2 tsp. honey
1 Tbs. butter

Directions

Let the pork chops stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, paprika, and pepper.

Rub both side of the pork chops with the seasoning mix.  Set aide.

Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet, over medium high heat. Add the seasoned pork chops. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side until it is browned. Turn the pork chops over and brown the other side.

Cover the skillet and turn the heat to low.  Cook the pork chops until they are completely cooked through. This takes between 6 and 12 minutes, depending on how thick the pork chops are. Use an instant meat thermometer and cook until the internal temperature reads 145° on a meat thermometer.

Remove the pork chops to a serving plate and cover them with a lid or a sheet of aluminum foil. While the meat is resting, it is time to make the sauce.

Add the chicken stock or broth, vinegar and honey to the skillet.  Be sure to scrap the bottom to get all the tasty bits off. Turn the heat to medium high and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half.  

Remove from heat. Stir in the butter. 

Add the pork chops back in the pan and spoon some of the sauce over the top.  Heat until the pork chops and sauce are hot.

Serve and enjoy.
