Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.3333 cup raspberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare your cooking materials.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan.
Place the pork chops in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside on a plate; they will finish cooking later.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Stir in the raspberry preserves, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan and incorporate any browned bits. Simmer the glaze for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the glaze over the top. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 7-9 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through (an internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Transfer the pork chops to a serving plate, spooning additional glaze over the top.
Optional: Garnish with fresh raspberries and thyme sprigs for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
