Serves: 4
Adapted by: http://www.fortheloveofcooking.net/2010/09/honey-mustard-thick-cut-pork-chops.html

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless pork chops (try to use the thicker cut pork chops)
2 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons local honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped OR 1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:
-In a small mixing bowl, combine dijon mustard, vinegar, honey, soy sauce, water, parsley, garlic, and ginger and combine with a whisk.
-Place pork chops in a large ziploc bag or deep dish baking dish. Pour the marinade over the pork chops and seal up the ziploc bag or cover the baking dish with a lid or saran wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 8 hours to marinate.
-Remove pork chops from the refrigerator and cook according to how you want to cook them.
-I cooked the pork chops in a saute pan on the stove that had a little olive oil in it to prevent sticking. I seasoned the chops with some fresh black pepper and they took about 6 minutes per side to cook completely.
-Once the chops are done cooking, remove from the skillet and keep warm on a plate in the microwave.
-Place the leftover marinade in the skillet and turn to high heat. Boil marinade for 3 minutes. Drizzle the sauce over the pork chops and serve.

Enjoy! :)
