There's nothing quite like a piece of perfectly cooked meat with a dollop of melting butter forging minuscule rivers of flavor in the nooks and crannies. We've provided you all the elements here: Fried sage is both delicate and crispy and adds the perfect herbaceous hint when joining sweet honey in the butter. Crunchy broccoli and hazelnuts round out this easy-to-make, delightful-to-eat weekday meal.

Tip: How to mince sage: stack the leaves, then ball them up. Hold them with your non-knife hand, using that hand to guide you as you slice. Then rock your knife back and forth until the sage is minced!

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |

  • Chicken 165° F |

  1. 1

    Fry the Sage

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Stem sage.

    Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add half the sage (reserve remaining for garnish) to hot pan and stir constantly until leaves are crispy and slightly darker in color, 1-2 minutes.

    Transfer sage to towel-lined plate.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  2. 2

    Prepare Ingredients and Roast Broccoli

    Cut broccoli into large bite-sized pieces.

    Mince garlic.

    Mince remaining sage.

    Pat pork chops dry, and season both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

    Place broccoli, hazelnuts, and garlic on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven until browned and fork-tender, 14-16 minutes.

    While broccoli roasts, sear pork chops.

  3. 3

    Sear the Pork Chops

    Return pan used to crisp sage to medium-high heat.

    Add pork chops to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.

    If using chicken, add to hot pan and cook undisturbed until browned, 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish the Pork Chops

    Flip pork chops, seared side up.

    Place pan in oven and roast until chops are browned and reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 8-10 minutes.

    If using chicken, flip seared side up and place pan in oven. Roast until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 8-10 minutes.

    Carefully, remove chops from pan and rest, 1-2 minutes.

    While chops rest, make butter.

  5. 5

    Make the Sage and Honey Butter

    Crumble fried sage into a mixing bowl. Combine with softened butter, honey, and a pinch of pepper.
