Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.3333 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil shimmers, add the pork chops to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add balsamic vinegar, honey, chicken broth, and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning the balsamic glaze over the chops to coat them evenly.
Continue cooking the pork chops in the skillet for another 4-6 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the heat and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops with the balsamic glaze spooned over the top, alongside your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
