Instructions

1. 1Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. 2Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 1–2 minutes). Working in batches if needed, sear the pork chops 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Transfer to a plate.
3. 3Reduce heat to medium, add the butter to the same skillet, and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the fresh garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
4. 4Pour in the honey, chicken broth, and rice vinegar, then increase heat to medium-high. Simmer 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Add water 1–2 tablespoons at a time if the sauce becomes too thick.
5. 5Return the pork chops to the skillet and turn to coat in sauce. Simmer over medium heat 1–2 minutes until the pork is heated through and lightly glazed.
6. 6Divide the pork chops and sauce evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot, then cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
