Eileen's Tips for the Best Pork Chops and Potatoes
- Instead of butter to saute the boneless chops, you can also use a favorite neutral-flavored oil, such as olive oil or canola oil.
- Sear the pork chops until they are golden brown on each side. To prevent them from overcooking, use an instant-read meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature.
- If you don't have chicken stock, you can use chicken broth. However, chicken stock has a lot more flavor.
- When adding the chicken stock, use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of your skillet to remove all the browned bits because that's where the flavor is.
- For those who need low-sodium ingredients, use low-sodium soy sauce and sodium-free chicken stock.
FAQs to make the best Honey Garlic Pork Chops and Potatoes
To get the perfect juicy chops, use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F.
Pork chops can dry out quickly in the microwave, so I recommend that you reheat them on 50% power until they are warm all the way through. Depending on how thick they are, this can take 1-2 minutes or 3-4 minutes for thicker pork chops
Honey Garlic Pork Chops and Potatoes Variation Ideas
Do you want to change up this recipe?
- Pork Chop: I use boneless pork chops as I prefer a quick cooking cut for easy dinners. Bone-in pork chops will work well in this recipe; however, the cooking time will need to increase, and ensure pork is cooked to 145°F.
- Protein: Swap the protein and use boneless chicken breasts.
- Spice: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- Garlic: No worries, you can use garlic powder in the saucy glaze instead.
- Gluten-Free: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce
- Sugar-Free/Low Carb: Swap honey for a keto-friendly honey substitute to make Keto Honey Garlic Pork Chops.
- Sheet Pan Method: To make this a sheet pan honey garlic pork chops and potatoes meal, mix all the ingredients in the sauce and bake at 400°F/205°C for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Make-ahead and Storing Pork Chops and Potatoes
Storage - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Freezing - I don't recommend freezing the leftover potatoes because they do not freeze well.
The pork chops can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight freezer-safe container.
To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375 °F for about 10-15 minutes until heated.
