Steps
1
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Once hot, carefully place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
4
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Stir in honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
6
Return the pork chops to the skillet and add the fresh herbs if using. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes, turning once, until cooked through (internal temperature 145°F).
7
While the pork cooks, bring a pot of salted water to boil and add the green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain.
8
Plate the pork chops and drizzle with the honey-garlic sauce. Serve with the green beans on the side.
