Sweet and Juicy Pork Chops

I think this is the first time I have ever made pork chops.
and it went swimmingly!

These chops were so tender and juicy it actually surprised me a bit. The sauce was delicious too!

BAM.
There she is. I bet she was a fine pig.

Want to know how to make these? Of course you do!

What You Need  
2-4 Pork chops
olive oil
butter
1/4 C chicken broth
1/8 C soy sauce
1/8 C honey
1 T ketchup
1/4 tsp ginger
1 tsp garlic salt

 First heat your oven to 350. Then get out a frying pan and put about a tablespoon of olive oil and turn it on medium high heat. You want the pan pretty hot.. but not hot enough to burn the butter you are going to put in. 
While the pan is heating up mix the broth, soy sauce, honey, ketchup, ginger, garlic salt. Just set that deliciousness aside while you return to the pork chops. 
When the oil gets hot put about a tablespoon of butter in there. When the butter melts swirl it all around the pan.. oh yeah get it all over that pan.
Then throw in those pork chops! You could probably salt and pepper those puppies before you put them on. If you want to. I bet it wouldn't hurt.
I browned my pork chops for about a minute on each side. 
Get out a casserole dish. However big you may need.. butter it or spray it down with nonstick spray. When your pork chops are done throw them in there.
Remember that sauce you concocted a little bit ago? Pour that all over those pork chops.
Put them in the oven and cook for 45 minutes to an hour.. depending on the thickness of your chops.

I like this recipe because I could finish up those chops and while they were in the oven I could work on the side dishes. I made wild rice and green beans but you can do whatever you want to. Get creative.
