Instructions

In a medium size bowl whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil and sweet chili sauce.

Pour half of marinade over the pork chops and allow to sit for 10 minutes.

Reserve the remaining half of the marinade.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.; add pork chops to skillet, discard the marinade left in the bowl.

Cook chops until browned on one side, about 6 minutes.

Turn the chops over and add the reserved marinade to the pan.

Cook for 6 more minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pound for Even Cooking 🔨
Gently pound pork chops to uniform thickness (about ¾ inch) so they cook evenly and prevent the edges from drying out while the center finishes.
Balance Your Marinade 🎯
Mix sweet chili sauce with honey and soy sauce first to create the perfect sweet-savory-spicy ratio before adding fresh ginger and garlic for optimal flavor distribution.
Sesame Oil Finish 🤎
Drizzle sesame oil only in the final minute of cooking or after plating, as high heat destroys its delicate nutty flavor and aroma.
Sear Before Baking 🔥
Quickly sear pork chops in olive oil for 2 minutes per side to develop a golden crust that locks in juices before transferring to the oven for baking.
Temperature Precision 🌡️
Remove pork chops at 145°F internal temperature—they'll continue cooking 3-5°F as they rest, ensuring perfectly tender meat without dryness.
