I love making all day meals, but we often have a crazy busy schedule and need to get dinner on the table in a hurry. Pan Seared Pork Chops with White Balsamic Honey Glaze is perfect – 15 minutes and you have a restaurant quality meal!
The pork is seasoned, quickly seared and finished in the oven. The glaze is added right at the end and is glossy, tangy, and sweet. The result is a gorgeous, juicy, savory pork chop.
It will look like you spent hours in the kitchen, but you only needed a few minutes! Add some seasonal veggies like my Holiday Roasted Vegetable Medley on the side and dinner is ready!
How to Make Pan Seared Pork Chops with White Balsamic Honey Glaze
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Pat the pork chops dry. Season with the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
Whisk the ingredients except the butter for the glaze in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat an oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat. Add the pork chops. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until well browned. Flip one more time and place in the oven to finish cooking.
Cook in the oven for approximately 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature of the pork chops is 145°F.
Remove the pork chops and cover loosely on a plate to rest. Add the glaze to the hot skillet over medium low heat. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until it cooks down slightly. Add in the butter and swirl in.
Add the pork chops back into the pan and coat with the glaze, using a spoon to baste. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
