Saucy Baked Pork Chops

  • 1 pkg. (roughly 1.25 to 1.5 lbs.) thick, boneless pork chops
  • 3 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 3 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar (If you don't have this, distilled white vinegar will do.)
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
  • kosher salt
  • 1/3 C. water
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the chops in a baking dish that's been sprayed lightly with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix together the tomato paste, honey, soy sauce, cider vinegar, garlic powder, and seasoned salt.

Sprinkle pork chops lightly with kosher salt, and pour the sauce over the chops. Turn them to coat both sides. Pour roughly 1/3 cup of water into the baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chops reads 160 degrees. Serves 4.
