Dinner just got delicious with this yummy honey mustard pork chops recipe! Pork chops and potatoes are cooked in a skillet on the stovetop along with a sweet and tangy glaze for an easy dinner.
What’s in Honey Mustard Pork Chops?
Pork chops and potatoes are one of our favorite family meals, and this honey mustard recipe takes them to a whole other level.
- Pork: Any type of pork chops will work well in this recipe. I like to use boneless chops in this recipe for ease of cooking.
- Potatoes: Baby potatoes will cook the fastest. I like Yukon golds, but red potatoes or a tricolor potato mix will also work.
- Oil: I like to cook the potatoes in olive oil for the rich flavor it imparts, but you could use vegetable, canola, or avocado oil if you prefer.
- Chicken Broth: Low-sodium chicken broth forms the base of the honey mustard sauce. You could use vegetable broth instead.
- Honey: Adds a floral sweetness to the sauce. Use a natural raw honey for the best flavor.
- Mustard: Dijon mustard is tangy and spicy and balances out the sweetness of the honey.
- Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper all contribute to the sauce to create a rich flavor.
Pro Tip: For a lower calorie recipe, opt for a sirloin or top loin pork chop.
Creamy Pork Chops and Potatoes
To turn this recipe into creamy honey mustard pork chops, before adding the potatoes and pork back to the skillet, whisk in ½ cup of heavy cream or half-and-half to the sauce off the heat.
Any type of pork chops will work well in this recipe. A sirloin or top loin chop will be lower in fat and calories, but you can also use bone-in rib chops that are flavorful and juicy. I like to use boneless chops in this recipe for ease of cooking.
Pork chops really don’t take that long to cook through, about 4-5 minutes a side should do it. Take care not to overcook the pork, as it can become quite tough and flavorless.
Soaking pork chops in milk helps to tenderize the meat and prevent overcooking. If you would like to, you certainly can soak your chops; just be sure to pat them dry before using them.
The most common reason pork chops go tough is that they are overcooked. Pork chops are incredibly lean and cook much faster than expected. Be sure to use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness, and remove them from the heat as soon as they reach 145°F.
The Best meat thermometer!
I love using this meat thermometer for making sure your pork is 145 degrees. Easy for beginners & totally worth the $10 cost!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
