Ingredients
For the Pork Chops
- 4 boneless pork chops about 1 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
For the Peach BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/3 cup peach preserves
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 fresh peach sliced, optional
Instructions
Step 1: Season the pork chops
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 2: Make the sauce
- In a small bowl, stir together the BBQ sauce, peach preserves, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes if using.
Step 3: Sear the pork chops
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, until nicely browned.
Step 4: Flip and cook
- Turn the pork chops over and cook for another 3 minutes. Lower the heat to medium so the sauce does not burn.
Step 5: Add the peach BBQ sauce
- Pour the sauce over the pork chops. Add fresh peach slices if using. Spoon some sauce over the top of each chop.
Step 6: Simmer until cooked through
- Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pork reaches 145°F in the thickest part.
Step 7: Rest before serving
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the pork chops rest for 3 minutes. Spoon extra sauce from the pan over the top before serving.
