Here’s a super-easy recipe for a Honey Mustard Pork Chops and Potatoes Skillet—perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It’s all made in one skillet for minimal cleanup.
Ingredients (for 2–3 servings)

- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
For the honey mustard sauce:
- 3 tbsp Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 tsp soy sauce (optional, for depth)
Instructions

- Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until golden and tender.
- Remove potatoes from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the pork chops:
- Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter.
- Add pork chops and sear 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 145°F / 63°C).
- Remove pork chops and set aside with potatoes.
- Make the honey mustard sauce:
- In the skillet, add Dijon mustard, honey, vinegar, and soy sauce.
- Stir over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened (~1–2 minutes).

If you want, I can also give you a foolproof 20-minute version that’s extra caramelized and golden using the same skillet—super crispy and flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
