- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
Instructions
- Prep and Season:
Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. - Sear the Pork Chops:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan, place on a plate, and cover loosely with foil. - Cook the Aromatics:
Reduce the heat to medium. In the same pan, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. If the pan is too dry, add a splash of water or a little more olive oil. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and the onions start to soften. - Make the Sauce:
Stir in the honey, apple cider vinegar, water, and chicken bouillon powder. Mix well and let it come to a gentle simmer. - Glaze the Chops:
Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top to baste them. Let them simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and the pork is fully cooked. - Serve:
