Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless thick-cut pork chops
- 2 yellow peaches, pitted and sliced
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Glaze and Cooking Ingredients:
- ½ cup peach preserves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Pat 4 pork chops completely dry using paper towels. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon chili powder, kosher salt, and black pepper across both surfaces evenly.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat at 350°F. Place seasoned pork chops into hot pan.
- Cook pork chops for 7-10 minutes per side until golden brown. Ensure internal temperature reaches precisely 145°F using a meat thermometer.
- Remove pork chops from skillet. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to maintain warmth while preparing glaze.
- Add 2 sliced yellow peaches to the same skillet. Sauté for approximately 3 minutes until peaches soften and release natural juices.
- Whisk ½ cup peach preserves, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, ½ teaspoon minced garlic, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes in a separate bowl.
- Pour glaze mixture into skillet with peaches. Stir thoroughly to combine and scrape any browned bits from pan bottom.
- Return pork chops to skillet. Spoon peach glaze and slices directly over meat for 1-2 minutes until everything reaches serving temperature.
- Let pork chops rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute throughout meat.
Notes
- Select bone-in pork chops for maximum flavor and juiciness, ensuring they’re about 1-inch thick for even cooking.
- Use ripe, fresh peaches when possible, as they’ll provide the most vibrant and natural sweetness to the glaze.
- For a lower-carb version, replace peach preserves with fresh peaches and a touch of honey to reduce sugar content.
- When checking internal temperature, pull the pork chops off the heat at 140°F, as they’ll continue cooking while resting and reach the safe 145°F mark.
