What Do Honey Garlic Pork Chops Taste Like?

Imagine a tender pork chop covered in a glossy sauce that’s sweet, savory, garlicky, and just a little tangy.

The honey gives the sauce a beautiful sweetness.

The soy sauce adds a rich umami flavor.

Fresh garlic makes everything smell incredible while the pork cooks.

And a little vinegar and mustard keep the sauce balanced.

The finished pork has a delicious combination of savory meat and sticky-sweet sauce that makes it hard to stop at one bite.

And when you pour that warm sauce over creamy mashed potatoes?

Let’s just say dinner suddenly gets very exciting.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Pork chops

Boneless pork chops are convenient and work beautifully here.

You can also use bone-in pork chops, but cooking time may vary depending on their thickness.

Honey

Honey gives the sauce its signature sweetness and helps create that beautiful glossy finish.

Soy sauce

Soy sauce adds saltiness and savory depth.

Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer more control over the salt level.

Fresh garlic

Fresh minced garlic gives this recipe its wonderful honey-garlic flavor.

Don’t be shy with it!

Chicken broth

A little broth helps create the cooking liquid and keeps the sauce from being overly concentrated.

Apple cider vinegar

This provides a little acidity to balance the honey.

Dijon mustard

Dijon adds subtle tanginess and another layer of flavor.

Cornstarch

Cornstarch isn’t necessary for cooking the pork, but it’s perfect for turning the finished cooking liquid into a thicker sauce.

Seasonings

A little black pepper and paprika round out the flavor.

Tools You’ll Need

Keep things simple.

You’ll need:

• Slow cooker
• Small bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring spoons
• Tongs
• Small saucepan
• Meat thermometer

The meat thermometer is especially useful because pork chops vary in size and thickness.
