<\/p>\n
1. Season the Pork Chops
\nPat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.<\/p>\n
2. Sear the Pork
\nHeat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3\u20134 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.<\/p>\n
3. Make the Sauce
\nReduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and saut\u00e9 for about 30 seconds until fragrant.<\/p>\n
4. Glaze the Pork
\nStir in honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2\u20133 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.<\/p>\n
5. Finish & Serve
\nReturn the pork chops to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them until well coated and glossy. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.<\/p>\n
1. Cook the Potatoes
\nPlace the potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15\u201320 minutes or until fork-tender.<\/p>\n
2. Mash & Cream
\nDrain well and mash while hot. Add butter, warm milk or cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.<\/p>\n
3. Adjust Texture
\nMash until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed for desired consistency.<\/p>\n
1. Blanch broccolini in salted boiling water for 2\u20133 minutes. Drain well.<\/p>\n
2. Saut\u00e9 in olive oil with garlic for 1\u20132 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.<\/p>\n
Serve the honey garlic pork chops over creamy mashed potatoes with extra sauce spooned on top. Add broccolini on the side for color, freshness, and balance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Substitute pork chops with chicken thighs or salmon.<\/p>\n
Add a splash of chicken broth to the sauce for extra depth.<\/p>\n
For extra richness, stir a tablespoon of cream into the honey garlic sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
