Heat up a cast-iron skillet (preferred) on high heat. Add the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the pork chops to the skillet and pan fry each side of the pork, uninterrupted, for 3-4 minutes each, or until the surface turns brown. Flip over to the other side and repeat the same.

Push the pork chops to one side of the skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the garlic and saute for 10 seconds, or until they turn light brown. Add the Honey Garlic Sauce, cook to reduce the sauce to a thicker consistency or until the sauce turns amber brown. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Turn off the heat, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately.

What to Expect
Prepare for a truly inviting meal. You'll bite into tender, succulent boneless pork chops, each piece glazed in a rich, glossy honey garlic sauce.

While Italian parsley adds a classic freshness, feel free to swap it for other fresh herbs like chives or cilantro if that's what you have on hand. For a different twist, a splash of lemon juice could replace the apple cider vinegar for a similar bright acidity.
