Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Coat a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add chops to the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- While the chops are browning, combine brown sugar and honey in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until brown sugar has softened or melted, about 20 seconds. Stir to combine.
- Transfer browned chops to the prepared baking dish and spoon 1/2 of the honey glaze evenly over top.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn over, and spread the remaining honey glaze over top. Bake until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the orange juice, olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, the thyme, Worcestershire sauce and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.

HONEY-SOY GLAZED PORK CHOPS
I found this recipe on another website, however I do not remember which one. This is quick and easy to prepare. The sauce is delicious served over rice. Do not cook the sauce too long as the soy sauce can become very intense. I usually double the sauce mixture and garlic but that is just my preference.

Steps:
- Sprinkle 1 side of each pork chop with black pepper.
- Heat nonstick skillet over medium high heat until hot.
- Add pork chops, pepper side down, and cook approximately.
- 4 minutes or until browned.
- Reduce heat to medium, turn pork chops and cook 6 to 8 minutes longer or until they just lose their pink color.
- Transfer pork chops to platter, cover to keep warm.
- While pork chops are cooking, in a cup or small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar and cornstarch until smooth.
- After removing pork chops, add garlic to skillet, cook 30 seconds, stirring (no longer so it does not burn).
- Stir honey mixture into skillet (mixture will boil) and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring.
- The longer the sauce mixture cooks, the soy sauce flavor becomes stronger.
- Spoon sauce over pork chops.
- Sprinkle with green onions for garnish, if desired.
Tips:
- To ensure your pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 145°F (63°C); for medium, 155°F (68°C); and for well-done, 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of your pork chops by making a small incision into the thickest part of the meat. The juices should run clear, with no trace of pink.
- To make a delicious honey glaze, use a combination of honey, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. This will give the pork chops a sweet, tangy, and savory flavor.
- To prevent the honey glaze from burning, baste the pork chops frequently with the glaze throughout the cooking process.
- Serve the honey-glazed pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Honey-glazed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can create perfectly cooked pork chops with a sweet, tangy, and savory glaze. Enjoy your meal!
