Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear pork chops 2 minutes per side without moving—edges should turn golden brown and crispy.

  4. Step 4

    Push chops to the side. Add minced garlic to the empty space and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle honey and soy sauce over the chops. Tilt the pan to coat everything; let it bubble 60 seconds.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze lime juice over the top. Plate chops and spoon the glaze over. Garnish with scallions and chilies.
