Golden Glow Pork Chops

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy sear later on.

3. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper according to your preference.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and paprika until well combined.

5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

6. Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking dish.

7. Pour the honey glaze over the pork chops, making sure to coat them evenly.

8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

9. Halfway through the cooking time, spoon the glaze from the bottom of the dish over the pork chops to ensure they stay moist and flavorful.

10. Once cooked through, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes.

11. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness before serving.
