pork chops, salt and pepper
Once the skillet is hot, add the pork chops. Cook uncovered for 3 minutes on each side to sear the outsides of the chops; remove the chops from the pan and set aside.
Turn the burner down to low/medium heat.
To the skillet, add the butter and garlic. Let the garlic cook for about a minute.
2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons minced garlic
Next, stir in the honey, water, vinegar and crushed red pepper. Let cook for a few minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup water, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Add the chops back to the pan and cook for 5-10 minutes, basting frequently with the sauce. The pork chops are done when they register an internal temperature of 145°F. Let rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
Thinly slice the chops and serve over a bed of rice; drizzle the remaining sauce over the pork.
Garnish with parsley and additional crushed red pepper, if desired.
