APRICOT MUSTARD GLAZED PORK CHOPS {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 30-35 minutes
½ cup apricot preserves
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons low-sodium teriyaki sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
4-6 boneless pork chops (about 1" thickness)
cooking spray
-Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
-Pierce the pork chops all over with a paring knife on both sides. Place the chops in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Season both sides of the chops with salt and pepper.
-Whisk the apricot preserves, mustard, Teriyaki sauce, and garlic in a small bowl. Liberally brush (or pour) the glaze evenly over the chops. Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the center of the chops are no longer pink. Remove the chops from the oven, cover, and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
*Note - if you're using the glaze for chicken bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
*Note - if you're using the glaze on the grill, don't brush the glaze on the meat until the last 20 minutes of grilling, so it doesn't burn.

I've made a sauce similar to this before, and also switched it up with different preserve flavors. It's always a hit...and so easy!

That glaze, it just calls out to me. I love easy recipes too, sometimes you need ones that you don't need to think about when you make dinner but always come out tasting fantastic.
