    Ingredients

    You only need a few ingredients to make the best honey mustard pork chops:

    • Pork chops - Use fresh, or thaw them first if using frozen chops.
    • Dijon mustard - a smooth mustard with plenty of flavour.
    • Whole grain mustard - this makes the base of our marinade.
    • Honey - adds a slight sweetness to the marinade.

    How to make honey mustard pork chops

    Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Then, brush the marinade over the pork chops, making sure to cover them completely. Leave the pork chops to marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.

    Heat some butter or oil in a pan on medium heat, and add the marinated pork chops. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on either side, or until the pork chops have cooked through. The meat should be completely white, and the chops should have an internal temperature of 63 C / 145 F. I use a meat thermometer to check if the meat is done.

    Serve honey mustard pork chops while still hot.

    Top tips for juicy pork chops

    • Avoid cooking honey mustard pork chops on a very high heat, as this can cause the mustard to burn.
    • If you're low on time, you can cover the meat in the marinade and cook it immediately. However, for the best result, I highly suggest leaving the pork chops in the marinade for a few hours. This allows them to absorb move of the good flavour.
    • I use boneless pork chops for this recipe. If you use bone-in pork chops, you might have to increase the cooking time.
    • Avoid pushing down on the pork chops to squeeze the juices out while cooking. This dries out the meat.
    • Make sure to use enough cooking oil in the pan to prevent the pork chops from burning.

    Slow cooker method

    This recipe can also alterated to make slow cooker honey mustard pork chops. Make the marinade, and coat the pork chops. Add them to a slow cooker, and cook on high for 2-4 hours, or on low for 4-6 hours. Be careful not to overcook them as the meat can dry out.

    Storing leftovers

    Leftover honey mustard pork chops can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat them thoroughly before serving.

    Serving suggestions

    Serve honey mustard pork chops with your favourite side dishes. Try mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, brussels sprouts with bacon and maple syrup or honey roasted parsnips.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I bake these pork chops in the oven? - Absolutely! Place the marinated pork chops in an oven proof dish, and bake them on 220C / 210C fan oven / 430F for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meat has cooked through.
