Stir ½ teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon dried rosemary and ½ teaspoon onion powder together in a small bowl then season both sides of each of the 4 center cut boneless pork chops with it.

Heat 2 Tablespoons butter and 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat then brown the pork chops on each side for about 4 minutes or until they form a nice golden color on each side.

In the meantime, stir 1 cup chicken broth, ¼ cup honey, 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 3 cloves garlic, finely minced and ½ teaspoon of salt in a small bowl.

Pour it into the pan and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes or until it has reduced almost completely or until the pork chops come to an internal temperature of 145F. If you have found your pork chops have reached temperature and the sauce has not fully reduced and gotten thicker, take out the pork chops and cover them then continue to reduce the sauce in the pan.

Spoon the sauce over the pork chops then serve.
