Ingredients for Apricot Ginger Pork Chops

  • Boneless Pork Chops
  • Apricot Preserves
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Ground Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons water

How to Make Apricot Ginger Pork Chops

  1. In a non-metal bowl, whisk together 1 cup apricot preserves, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, and 2 tablespoons water.
  2. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade mixture.
  3. Add the pork chops (about 1.5 lbs, 4 chops) to the remaining marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least one hour, flipping halfway through.
  4. Preheat your broiler.
  5. Remove pork chops from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
  6. Lightly spray a broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Place the pork chops on the prepared broiler pan.
  8. Broil the pork chops about 5 inches from the heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the juices run clear.
  9. During the last minute of broiling, brush the reserved marinade over the pork chops.
  10. Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
