Description
Get ready to indulge in a delightful symphony of flavors with these mouthwatering Peach Glazed Pork Chops. Juicy, pan-seared pork chops are coated in a luscious glaze made with fresh peaches, creating a perfect balance of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless thick-cut pork chops
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup peach preserves
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 yellow peaches, pitted and sliced
Instructions
1. Start by patting the pork chops dry and seasoning both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and a touch of chili powder (if desired).
2. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned pork chops and cook for about 7-10 minutes per side, until they’re beautifully browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Remove the chops from the pan, tent them with foil, and set them aside to keep warm.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced peaches and cook for about 3 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.
4. While the peaches are cooking, whisk together the peach preserves, olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to create the luscious glaze. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the peaches, stirring to coat and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
5. Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the peach glaze and slices over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until everything is warmed through and the flavors meld together beautifully.
6. After letting the Peach Glazed Pork Chops rest for a few minutes, serve them up and enjoy the sweet and savory harmony of this delightful dish.
Notes
Use thick-cut pork chops (at least 1 inch thick) for better moisture retention during cooking.
Invest in a reliable meat thermometer to accurately check the internal temperature.
Experiment with different fruit preserves to create unique flavor profiles.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your desired spice level.
