Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
4 pork chops
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves minced
¼ cup honey
¼ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions

Make a cornstarch slurry by placing the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir until completely combined. Set aside.
Season both sides of the pork chops with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a skillet add the avocado oil over medium heat. Allow it to get hot, which will take 2-3 minutes.
Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet. Cook each side for 4-5 minutes. You want an internal temperature of 145° F. Transfer the pork chops to a plate.
To the skillet add the butter and minced garlic. Stir for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and you have scraped the bits off the skillet.
Add the honey, chicken stock, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir for 2-3 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet. Mix until the sauce is thicker.
Add the pork chops back to the skillet. Cover the pork chops with the sauce.
Top with parsley.
