to continue in my quest to find healthy delicious foods, I have chosen to make honey mustard pork chops. They're simple and cost effective. Some people like it spicy and add chili powder and crushed red pepper.
Ingredients
Ingredients
4 tsp Honey
1/4 c Dijon Mustard
1 tsp Cider or wine vinegar
Salt
Pepper, freshly ground
4 Loin pork chops (5 oz. bone in, 1" think)
Chopped chives (optional for presentation)
Chopped chives (optional for presentation)
Preparation
1. To prepare the marinade, in a small saucepan over low heat, heat the honey until it liquefies. Stir in the mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper; cool to room temperature.2. Place the pork chops in a gallon-size sealable plastic bag; add the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out the air; turn to coat the chops. Refrigerate, turning the bag occasionally, at least 8 hours or overnight. Remove the chops from the refrig 30 minutes before broiling.3. Preheat the broiler. Discard the marinade. Place the chops on the broiler rack and broil 3-4" from the heat until cooked through, 6-7 minutes on each side.
Remove from oven and sprinkle chives
Serve hot.

Yum! Best pork chops ever. I love the simplicity of this dish, as well as it’s affordability. It was sweet and tangy at the same time (just like me). I paired it with chardonnay, and served the pork with brown rice and microwavable veggies (they’re just so easy). The preparation was a little annoying, but if you have the time, and the patience, it’s worth the wait. Plan on eating the day after preperation. Not only did it make a great dinner, but and amazing sandwich the next day. Pork can be lean and fit if you get the right kind. Make sure to watch out for extra fat left on the meat. Portion control is also important when serving this meal as a healthy alternative. A serving of pork should be about the size of a deck of cards. It sounds small, but it will fill you up.
