Honey Glazed Pork Chops

Pork chops are one of my daughter's favorite things, so this week I thought I would try something new with them.  These came out great, they had a sweet comforting flavor which was perfect for this fall weather we have been having and went wonderfully with the smashed sweet potatoes that I made.  They were very simple and were on the table in 30 minutes.  I will absolutely make them again, and on a side note the were very good reheated for lunch.

Here's how I made them:

5 T Olive Oil
4 thick cut pork chops bone in
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar

Start by preheating your oven to 350.  In an oven safe skillet over a medium heat add your olive oil to the pan.  While doing this season your pork chops with salt and pepper.  Place your pork chops in the oiled pan and allow them to crisp up - flip them only once, this will allow them to be brown nicely.  In a microwave safe bowl mix your honey and brown sugar together and heat them for 1 minute in the microwave.  Stir until the brown sugar has melted into the honey.  Pour the mixture over your pork chops and cover them.  Bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes.  Allow your meat to rest for 5 minutes once finished.  This made a really delicious sauce which I poured over the smashed sweet potatoes we had with our dinner.

Hope you enjoy!
