Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 0.25 cups Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium for a healthier alternative.

  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced for an aromatic punch.
  • 1 tablespoons Sesame Oil Can be swapped with olive oil in a pinch.
  • 1 tablespoons Fresh Ginger Adds warmth and spice; ground ginger works, but fresh is preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons Sweet Chili Sauce Blends sweetness with heat; mix sugar and hot sauce for a quick alternative.
For the Pork Chops
  • 4 pieces Thin Boneless Pork Chops Juicy and tender; replace with chicken breasts if desired.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and sweet chili sauce to prepare the marinade.
  2. Place the thin boneless pork chops in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them, letting it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Add olive oil to the preheated skillet, then cook the marinated pork chops for about 6 minutes, until browned.
  4. Flip the pork chops, add the reserved marinade to the skillet, and cook for another 6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  5. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
