Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Mustard Pork Chops
  1. Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Season the Pork: Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. Sear the Chops: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Glaze & Cook Through: Reduce heat to medium-low, pour the sauce over seared chops, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until chops reach 145°F (63°C).
  5. Rest & Serve: Remove chops and let them rest for 3 minutes. Spoon remaining sauce over chops, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
