Instructions

💭 Tips
- Preheat the skillet and sure it is hot enough to sear and brown the pork chops.
- Use the olive oil to brown the pork chops. The ghee is for the sauce, it will not work as well as the olive oil for browning.
- Pay attention to the cooking time and don't overcook the pork chops recipe. Doing so may cause a dry piece of meat.
📖 Variations
- Substitute the honey for a keto-friendly honey substitute, or sugar-free maple syrup to make this a keto pork chop dinner.
- Add a light coating of flour or cornstarch on the outside of the pork chop before frying for an extra crispy coating.
- Add a squirt of sriracha sauce or dash or two of cayenne pepper to the honey sauce for a spicy honey garlic pork chop recipe.
