**Dijon Honey Chops**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 bone-in pork chops
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This flavorful marinade will be the secret to tender and tasty pork chops.
2. Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are evenly coated. For the best results, let the pork chops marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. If you prefer, you can also bake the pork chops in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the preheated grill or grill pan. Carefully place the marinated pork chops onto the grill, ensuring they are not crowded. Discard any excess marinade.
5. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have beautiful grill marks. Pork chops should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal doneness.
6. Once the pork chops are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender bite.
7. Serve the Dijon Honey Chops garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and an extra burst of flavor. These chops pair perfectly with a side of roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, or a crisp garden salad.
8. Gather your loved ones around the table and enjoy these mouthwatering Dijon Honey Chops together. The combination of tangy Dijon mustard, sweet honey, and savory garlic creates a symphony of flavors that will make this dish a favorite in your recipe repertoire. Add this easy and impressive recipe to your rotation for a delightful mealtime experience that is sure to please every palate.
