Wheat Free Honey Garlic Pork Chops
Juicy, golden-seared pork chops glazed in a sticky honey garlic sauce — this is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did. The sauce gets its savory depth from coconut aminos instead of traditional soy sauce, which means it's completely free of wheat without sacrificing that rich, umami-forward flavor you'd expect. Arrowroot starch steps in to thicken everything beautifully, so the glaze clings to every bite the way a great pan sauce should. A warm spice rub of turmeric and ginger gives the chops a gorgeous color and a subtle warmth before they even hit the pan, and the sear in coconut oil locks in all of that flavor. The whole thing comes together in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying dinner. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley and you've got a plate that's as pretty as it is satisfying.
